Two Locomotives

   

 Blog # 1642--- Day 1096 ( Three Years to the Day--That's  One Thousand and Ninety Six) of the Current  (

 Second ) Russian Invasion of  UKRAINE .               

                                                                      GLORY TO UKRAINE



Hello again. Here's a few cards from a few places. I'll start with a couple of maxi cards from Slovakia. Both are train cards, so I will leave it to the train card collectors out there to drool over these. Both were originally issued on April 17, 2015. The first card shows a 498.104 Albatros  Steam Locomotive. 





Alena used a number of stamps on this card. From the left  they are :

Issued in 1994, highlighting No Smoking Day .

Again from 1994 , issued for International Family Year.

Issued in 2019, this one commemorates the 75th Anniversary  of ICAO. ICAO is the International Civil Aviation Organization.

And finally , from 2010 a stamp showing Milan Hodzan, Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia from 1935-1938. 




Here's the second card,  much like the first. This one shows a Parna Locomotive 464.001 . 



Alena used 3 stamps on this one. Again from left to right : From 2013, a stamp with tabs ,  showcasing Kosice, European Cultural Capital.  Then a Stop Aids stamp from 2010. Finally A Folklore stamp from 1998. 




I think that's it for this time. Thank you Alena for both cards.
