Israel 1948 Postage Due Set (No Tab)
Israel · 1948 · 3, 5, 10, 20, 50 Mils
This set of five postage due stamps features a stylized Lion of Judah within a circular frame, with the inscription 'Dmei Doar' (Postage Due) in Hebrew. Issued without the traditional Israeli tabs, these stamps were essential for collecting underpaid postage.
These stamps were among the very first issues of the newly established State of Israel in 1948, reflecting the urgent need to create a functional postal system immediately following its declaration of independence.
