SWITZERLAND - 1976 - Sunday Stamps #20

I decided to start with the Sunday Stamps Project, maybe i find some stamps from time to time :) This Weeks theme wasn't that hard to fulfill as the third theme from the europa stamps was handicrafts.
On the left stamp you see some flower embroidery which switzerland was/is famous for. See more informations at the Embrodery Museum Site
The right Stamp shows a pocket watch from 1890. Our FrenchPart is famous for producing clocks since ages. You may all know the brand SWATCH, that is just one from hundreds (Rolex!) Further Informations: SwissTime

ISLE OF MAN - 1976


In 1976 the common theme was handicrafts (27 countries ; 58 stamps). Two new postal administrations appeared that year, Guernsey and the Isle of Man which still issue Europa stamps those days !
