It shows the rescue capsule.The stamp belongs to a serie of six stamps. I have only received this one, but at least two of them come with very unusual designs:
 |
| The names of the 33 men |
 |
| The note they sent from the refuge 'We are fine in the refuge -the 33' |
Very interesting stamps - they must be a decent size to be able to read all 33 names.
ReplyDeleteBut actually they aren't especially big. I'd like to see that one in person. If you follow the link, you'll see how they included the note in the cancellation rubber stamp; I think it's an original one!
DeleteI remember that disaster well; interesting to see these unusual commemoratives.
ReplyDeleteIt was a dramatic accident, but, luckily, with a happy ending.
DeleteStamps that manage to tell the story in just three images.
ReplyDeleteActually, there are six in this set.
