Philately Fridays: Austria, 1983

I can only assume this stamp commemorates the time Austria invented WIFI in 1983.

Philately Fridays: Germany 1964

Architecture! Thick lines!

Expo 67 Official Guide

Here are some highlights from the official guidebook to the 1967 World's Fair held in Montréal, Quebec. The book belonged to my grandparents, who picked it up at the fair. Lots of beautiful architectural drawings, logos, and illustrations to enjoy here.

Philately Fridays: Two from Germany

Probably for the same reason I love amusement park maps, I love super clean architectural illustrations like the ones in these two stamps from Germany. The first one celebrates the 75th anniversary of the suspended tram in Wuppertaler and the second one is for the Sport Und Erholungszentrum recreation center in Berlin.

Philately Fridays: Israel, 1985

Celebrating space-aged architecture in Israel... at least that's what I think this one is about. I have a hard time reading Hebrew without the vowels in place. If anyone has more information on this stamp and/or the building featured in it, please chime in!



UPDATE:

Thanks to Karen from Design Related who was able to translate the text on the stamp. She let me know it's a Memorial Day issue honoring The Golani Brigade Memorial site and museum.
