A rare find is this Zenith Stamp Co. (now defunct) approval book No. 12 from the 1960s which features an assorted collection of world stamps from between 1919 to 1953. This approval book showcases multi-coloured stamps with hand-stamped cancellations. It is very difficult to find such an item as mostly they were targeted to young (children) who were stamp collecting so there are no longer many available. This is a great addition to any collection. The stamps included in the approval book are not graded. I have outlined below to you the date range together with the description of the contents which consists of assorted denominations and currency from various regions around the world:
1) Germany (Russian Zone) 1952: Two (2) commemorative sets: Berlin Rebuilds and Famous Men. Cancelled.
