Sunday Stamps - II suggests today Technology/Industry. Since I read this post in Nog meer post! I wanted to post some stamps featuring... phones.
Spanish stamp issued on January 9, 2012. It belongs to the series of Civic values in society, which that year included three stamps: No pollution; Respecting speed; and the one I uploaded Getting distracted at the driving wheel.The stamp bears two messages: Careful when driving! and, on the screen, Lose the call, not your life!
Japanese stamp issued on August 26, 1997, with the occasion of the opening of Okinawa-Luzon-Hong Kong Submarine Cable.
Stamp issued in the Netherlands on October 9, 1990, about the National Alarm Number.
This one, also Dutch, was issued on May 19, 1981 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Postal and Telegraph Services.The designer is Rene van Raalte.

The following stamps were issued by Oman Post in December 19, 2010. It is a set of nine stamps designed by children who won the competitions Telecommunications with colours. Sometimes the phones are small... but I am sure you will find them on each stamp!
The Oman stamps are really well done. No telephone stamps in the USA that I am aware of. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThere is a black telephone on the set that FinnBadger posted today, have you seen it?
DeleteGreat set, I wouldn't have thought there were so many phones on stamps (in fact, I show one today). I think the Oman stamps are the winner of the week.
ReplyDeleteIt is strange, but sometimes stamps with one topic arrive together...
DeleteI like the idea of telephones on stamps amd enjoyed all these.
ReplyDeleteI like the stamps related to communication, in general.
DeleteSo do I!
DeleteMaybe a good idea for a future Sunday Stamps' theme (if it hasn't been there before)!
Good idea! I shall include it as a theme.
DeleteThank you, Violet! And even the theme 'communication' is large, and maybe dividable in more than one theme, don't you think so?
DeleteI was thinking, for instance, of alphabets - like al[habetization (teaching) but also onm alphabets / words (I've seen stamps from two different countries dedicated to the Braille alphabet, which I would love to post then).
And written communication might be an other theme? For example stamps showing letters and postcards, books.
Which is different from an other theme: technological ways of communication, from Morse to radio to computers.
And there might be more!?
Well, thank you for organizing, it really is fun to see what we all, stamps lovers, show and learn by these small beauties! :-)
All those are great themes.
DeleteI love this subject, great stamps!
ReplyDeleteFunny that I cannot detect any old-fashioned telephone on the Oman children's drawings, can you?
We still have a fixed-line telephone at home, and when my daughter's friend had to phone her mom, she was looking for the number buttons on the telephone receiver instead of the apparatus itself :-) (I think my teen kids are the only ones of that generation who know how old telephones work..)
I thought you were right, but I looked at them closely again, and I have found a red old-fashioned phone in the first stamp :)
DeleteOh yes, now I see it! With the dial part located at the stamp edge's hole :-)
DeleteThe phone - at least a cell phone - is becoming a main source of communication for everything!
ReplyDeleteBut stamps remain the most important one! ;-)
DeleteA surprising number of phones. I do like the colourful Oman stamps and that they still have their labels attached.
ReplyDeleteMe too :D
DeleteThere were a great surprise in the mailbox.
