Postage Stamp Chat Board & Stamp Bulletin Board Forum
 

Hello to all

I collect postage stamps and other philatelic materials (FDC, pre-stamped postcards and envelopes, pictorial postmarks, Maxi Cards and ect.) with depicting horses and horse symbols on postage stamps.

I collect any horses and subtopic: horse breed, equestrian sport, horse in transport, military, circus, agriculture and different kind of arts, chess and symbols.

Also I'm working under own site - Horse on stamps http://www.horse-stamps.narod.ru

It's free on-line thematic catalog devoted to HORSES in philately.
Catalog include good pictures of stamps and different information - world catalog numbers, technical details, plot's descriptions and other interesting things.

Now represent nearly 2 000 stamps issues from 150 countries




Catalogue include also information about Postal stationery (Postcards and Envelopes), pictorial postmarks and Firs Day Covers - this part is not very large and based on Soviet and Russian materials and items from Ex-USSR countries

For example



Some postmarks



Now I want to extend this part, so I'm looking for information on post envelopes and postcards, aerogrammes, FDC and maximum cards, special postmarks (cancellation) of different countries with depicting horses and horse symbols as well as their pictures of good quality.

I shall be grateful for any help.

Right now I'm working under Australian materials

Here http://horse-stamps.narod.ru/covers/kom ... ia-kom.htm pre-stamped envelopes

Unfortunately I don't have complete information about these items, look like occasion of issue, date, name of designer, size, printing quantity etс.

Wow!! Wonderful double-side pre-paid postcard! Fromdownunder thanks a lot.

I don't knew that Australia Post issued such cards May I use your pictures for my catalogue?

Now I posted on my site only 5 pre-paid envelopes and 2 aerogrammes



On back-side of cover often write information about envelopes, is it clear for Australian envelopes?

If somebody knew more horse item please tell me!

All my horse-drawn stuff, went on the other horse thread. I noticed mounted horses are included here. I have some of those, I'll scan tomorrow.

Yes Australian PSEs do have information on the back. The only one I can find at the moment is the South Australia Police Anniversary (top right). I am certain I have the others somewhere but unfortunately that somewhere could be anywhere.

Here is (part of) the obverse side:

You've presumably seen the 1978 set of four Maxicards?
And you know that the name of the horse on the 1935 Silber Jubilee of King George V was "Anzac"?

In my hunt for Aussie horse related stuff, I came across this. Lovely

Tonymacg thank you for good pictures

Fromdownunder thank you for posting pleasant covers and them text descriptions!



Am I right CSIRO-postcard isn't pre-stamped. I didn't see value on "stamp" at the corner

I see PSE text descriptions attentively - they are consist interesting information about occasion of issue and plots, and about designer too. But I still need catalogue number, date of issue, size and printing quantity, if it possible

Jimdotwalker Yes, I knew this nice set of Maxicards and have good pictures, but haven't it in my collection yet

I knew about name of the horse - "Anzac". I use Michel catalogue and it's give this info in stamp's description. But why Anzac so famous I don't knew


Request to moderator: please return the original name of thread - "Horses in Philately". There aren't only Australian materials here now

Oh, good! They changed the name of the thread. Here I was posting away last night like crazy, and then I stopped, thinking: "Australia?? Just Australia?? I don't remember that........"

Who have these postcards, show them (both side) in good quality please!!!!

When I saw this heading, before the picture loaded, I was waiting to see an elephant stamp!

in the second stamp, it looks like a blue version of the Flintstones Great Gazoo is riding a horse

Oops! Forgot the first of the '94 set....

Thanks uncadonego but how about stationeries or pictoriial postmarks ?
All stamps we can find in world catalogues Michel or SG or Scott. Topical collector knew stamps by his topic in common.

Postal stationeries and postmarks more interesting because sometime they are "terra incognita" A lot of interesting discoveries waiting you in this way

You are from Canada. How about Canadian PSE or postcards with horse ?

Jaipur State in India for many years used the motif of the Sun God, Surya, driving his horse chariot (the horse was also divine, so a little different from earthly horses) on its stamps and postal stationery.

This is an example of the Jaipur postcards:



and here is the detail of the stamp:



This is an example of the envelopes (usually poorly printed, unfortunately)



and here is the detail of the stamp:



And for comparison, here is one of the postage stamps in this design:
