Lou wrote: The telegraph stamp reproduced was never used for postage as in some other countries, but the other value and the s/s both contain tiny stamps on stamps which I discovered soon after the issue came out, and I was able to find the telegraph stamp and used examples of the Turkey, Netherlands and Netherlands Indies stamps to mount with the set.

Gabor Baross pictured on the stamps was the secretary to, and later, the Hungarian Minister of Ways and Communications from 1883 until his death in 1892.  He is credited with major reforms of the Hungarian post and telegraph systems, railway and Danube river traffic and international trade. It is interesting that all the stamps shown predate the period of his work.

Inside #3331 (In Margin): Mor Than Essay

Lou wrote: The Hungary 1991 Pro Philatelia s/s noting the 120th Anniversary of the first stamps of Hungary is a handsome SoS issue with its enlarged # 6 and the "faded image" of the Mor Than essay of 1848 in the margin, but even with a FDC added, the page in your album has a good deal of open space.

A way to fill this in is to add a specimen copy of the s/s, which also adds a talking point or note for the page. When you examine the sheet closely, you will see that the issue/print year reads 1990 instead of the actual 1991, which gives you an actually different stamp for your collection. In my limited research, I could find no explanation for this variety. Checking the internet, I found that it is still being offered at prices slightly above that of the regular s/s.

I very happily added this s/s to my collection in early 1992, and the few times I got to show it off to regular and SoS collectors, they always found it interesting. If it's your first time seeing it, I hope you do too.

Inside #3942:

Lou wrote: An email from member Mike Knopfler, reminded me that I had never added my identifications of the miniscule SoS on the label for Hungary #3942b to the sites.

Back when the S/S was issued, I was drawn to the illustration of some of the 3200 frames of stamps in sliding cases mounted in the wall of the exhibition room that contain over 500,000 stamps from around the world.

Looking at the label, I realized that I recognized one of the tiny stamps as a s/s from the Isle of Man, and so, loving puzzles and challenges, I hit the catalogs and internet to see if I could identify more. It became apparent that whoever made up the pages, followed the chronological order of issuance very carefully, so I was able to match colors, sizes and layouts to more IOM stamps. Flush with my success, I did some hunting for the next group just below those. I went with the assumption that the exhibit portion was in Europe and in alphabetical order, and since the lower frames were in front of and bigger than that of the IOM, I tried Germany and then the German Democratic Republic, which was correct.  With a little searching, I found the same pattern of chronological mounting of the issues, so I was again able to match the little stamps to actual issues. 

To my disappointment, that was as far as I was able to go. There were just too many more countries the next four frames could belong to, and I had so many more other SoS to play with. I did discover tho, that the designer of the label cheated a little in his layout, by repeating the same IOM, GDR and unidentifiable stamp frames in the balance of the smaller and smaller pullouts.

I decided that acquiring the actual IOM and GDR stamps would make a nice addition to just the one S/S as well as being proof of my IDs, so some month later, I was the proud possessor of them all!

It will take me a while to send all the individual stamp scans to the sites, so I thought you might like to see my collection pages in the meantime.

Scott: #????P

Inside #???? (In margin): Hungarian never realised stamp designs

The stamps marking the 93rd Stamp Day commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of one of Hungary’s most important stamp designers, Ferenc Helbing. The Hungarian graphic artist, painter and lithographer, who was born in Érsekújvár (now Nové Zámky, Slovakia) in 1870, was rector of Budapest’s College of Art and Design for almost a decade. Helbing was considered a pioneer of Hungarian advertising art whose designs included Art Nouveau book illustrations, banknotes and coins, certificates and posters. He also designed the Crowned Madonna, which appears upside down in a misprint of the 5,000 korona denomination version, making this one of the most valuable Hungarian stamp rarities.

A portrait of Ferenc Helbing is featured in the stamp of the souvenir sheet. Details of the graphic artist’s never realised stamp designs are shown on the stamps, the border of the sheet and the first day covers. The artist’s signature is used for the special postmark.

Magyar Posta devotes the HUF 300 surcharge on each souvenir sheet to supporting organized stamp collecting in Hungary.

Personalized stamps with labels honoring eminent Hungarian philatelists

Inside #????: Hungary #2O

Lou wrote: Hungary issued two personalized stamps with labels honoring eminent Hungarian philatelists. One label shows pre-stamp postmarks and the other the cover of a philatelic book. The scans available do not allow an enlargement to identify the stamp on the book cover, but it appears to be a black/white reproduction of Hungary #2 from 1867.

Zoltán Komlóssy wrote: At the beginning of the year, the section of the SW#6353 stamp issued by Hungarian Post showed a stamp on a book. Since the identification of the stamp was uncertain, I looked into the matter. The book is actually not a book in the strict sense of the word, but a special edition of the text of a radio broadcast (title page included!). Thus, it is easy to identify that the depicted stamp is a green Michel #2 or Scott #2 issued in 1871 with 3 kr.

Zoltán wrote: At the beginning of October, a stamp exhibition was held in Székesfehérvár, for which personal stamps were made and issued in small sheets. A Hungarian stamp issued in 1926 (M411, S403) can be seen on the stamp section, depicted with an incorrect color and postmarked in 1931. I am sending the image of the small sheet and the basic stamp. I also exhibited at the stamp presentation
