Bidspirit auction | Pre-State Israeli postcard postmarked 11
Pre-State Israeli postcard postmarked 11 May 1948 — just days before the Declaration of the State of Israel (14 May 1948), making it a genuine ”interim period” (תקופת המעבר) piece. Franked with a KKL / Jewish National Fund local stamp bearing the Ramat Gan municipal coat of arms (25 / 10 value), tied by a circular Ramat Gan cancellation. Reverse of a real-photo postcard (printer's imprint ”Nr. 2725 / Handabzug”), addressed in Hebrew manuscript. Used condition with even age toning and foxing spots consistent with age. Covers and cards from the final days before statehood and the interim-period local stamps are sought after by collectors of early Israeli and Judaica postal history.
