Soviet Stamps -- All-Union Society of Philatelists



This postcard shows a variety of Soviet stamps. It was published in 1974 to promote stamp collecting. The Russian words in the bottom left corner translate as "Join the members of the All-Union Society of Philatelists. Collect stamps!"

Всесоюзное Общество Филателистов is the All-Union Society of Philatelists.

  6. That's a novel way to get people to save stamps.
