One of the trickiest things with stationery is the most frequent motives...
Views from scenic places
I´ll try to make a guide here for 3 different areas, all for prestamped
envelopes with 1st Coat of Arms type 1957 - 65.
1. Tourism / Views from Romania
2. Views from Bucharest
3. Views from the Carpathic Mountains / Winter sport
I hope I get it right
