Hi,

I got this mix of Interuim Period stamps from Israel. Can anybody help
me to identify it? From which cities are they? And are the small blue
overprints/postmarks the DOAR-overprints mentioned in my Michel-
catalogue? Does anyboy has a link to an online resource for this
interesting area? Many questions, but maybe somebody can help.

Try the Bale Israel catalogue. The Bale 2006 catalogue section
covering the Interim Period stretches to 27pages.

Stamps illustrated there show, Herzl, Chaim Weizman, Eliezer Ben
Yehuda, Yeshua Hankin and Chaim Nachman Bialik among others
pictured on the stamps.

The Jewish Brigade, the Hebrew Technion, the Warsaw Ghetto as well
as agriculture, the Zionist Organisation jubilee, Ramat Gan’s 25th
Anniversary and Holy Land sites are some of the other subjects
covered.

Of course it was not a time for planned issues but a time when
the stamps overprinted were the ones that were simply “to hand”.
