I am liking this topic a lot. I must go hunt through stamps now.

Joining this forum is dangerous, you start to want to collect everything you see.

Great maps everyone.
wt1...those are gems. Superb.

Indeed this whole thread would have a Cartographer drooling.

And if he was a collector of stamps too, well..........

Here is my favourite Map stamp.
Great detail on this one.

It's rather large too !

Londonbus1.....Rather too large !

Londonbus1:

What is the stamp you posted? It doesn't have a denomination, so maybe a cinderella? It looks German. Can you translate the text and/or date it?

I know very little I'm afraid.
Other than it shows the Odenwald district of Hesse, Franconia.
Kreis Erbach means the Erbach district, Erbach being the central town.
I guess around the 1950's and will endeavour to get some answers from my friend in Munich who is often full of good stampy answers [even though a non-collector]

I like it and it's so big !

Here are a couple from Greece.

This one below might represent Greeks spreading (radiating) out over the world?

Thanks Litho !

Erbach is indeed the Land of the Ivory Carvers !
They have a Museum and Ivory carving was introduced to the town in the late 18th Century.
Indeed, the towns nickname is 'Elfenbeinstadt' [Ivory Town].

So maybe the Cinderella was an advert for the Ivory interest of the area.
