JUDAICA PHILATELY: Austrian Judaica Tabs

 

In 1980 the Austrian Jewish Community, wanting to honour Theodore Herzl’s 120th Birthday, approached the Austrian Post Office and requested them to issue a stamp for this occasion. Realizing the international repercussions this would have in many Third World as well as Arab countries not favourably disposed towards Israel, the Post Office declined. Instead they suggested that a brief message be printed commemorating the event on the bottom row of 10 tabs adjoining most Austrian definitives. THE AUSTRIAN JUDAICA TAB SETS WERE BORN!

The first set featuring the first JNF stamp on the tab was immediately sold out. Subsequent sets were just as popular and many sets or single stamps were sold out within weeks of the day of issue. Distribution of the stamps was given exclusively to the “Friends of the Israel Philatelic Community” in Austria. Most issues were produced in quantities ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 sets. Some were produced in the low hundreds!  From the onset, JUDAICA SALES has been fortunate in being able to acquire sufficient sets for all its customers. However, some sets and First Day Covers are now COMPLETELY SOLD OUT, and others are available in very limited quantities. Prices have remained reasonable for most issues. All sets issued to date are listed, including those NOT AVAILABLE (N/A).  Items noted (---) in price column indicate item was never available.

A few sets and First Day Covers as well as special covers are available in some quantities.THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN REDUCED A FULL 50% IN PRICE FROM PREVIOUS LISTS AND ARE  BOLDLY HI-LITED IN ITALICS!! There is no better time than the present to complete your Austrian Judaica tab collection, or start one now.

We have re-numbered our Austrian Judaica Tabs to reflect the different number of issues and re-issues of various sets or singles to date. This allows you to determine which items are missing in your collection. All issues are listed including those not in stock. They are listed in chronological order, but due to a numbering error, two issues #AUI053 and 054 are listed out of place. Numbers followed by a dot and number (.1) are for diff covers of the same issue
