Is it a stamp? If so what country?Image Not Found

Hard to imagine a JNF/KKL label without their name on it.

Lots of local organizations sold labels - or used them to show payment of dues, etc - without having the resources to have something custom printed.

IkeyPikey,
Does the Bale catalogue only cover Israel proper? think Judaica is an absolutely fascinating area of the hobby. They didn't even have a country until 1948 but as we see from this thread it goes much deeper than that.

re: Star of David! Baffled!

The three Bale catalogues cover the postal history and stamps of the Ottoman Empire period (1840-1919), the Palestine Mandate (1918-1948) and modern Israel (1948-present).

None of these include the JNFF/KKL labels, except for a small number of these labels that were overprinted for postal use during April and May 1948, the "interim" period between the closure of the Palestine Mandate post offices and the issuance of Doar Ivri (Hebrew Post) stamps which are listed in the Israel catalogue.

The JNF specific catalogues that I am aware of are:
* Rochlin's handbook of the issues of the Jewish National Fund which is apparently a large in excess of 600 page catalogue. Currently in print it is available from http://israelstamps.com/product/rochlin-handbook-of-the-issues-of-the-jnf/
* Stamp catalogue of the Jewish National Fund by Jay L. Kaplove, I don't know whether this is still in print, but a rather tatty 1973 edition is currently listed on eBay
* Catalogue of the Jewish National Fund stamps 1902 - 1950 by Eng. Jsidor Simon. A thin 20 page pamphlet.

I mistakenly thought that your Beal was a Bale typo - obviously not Happy thanks for the clarification.

re: Star of David! Baffled!

I'd never heard of Beal's so thanks for that info. I have a Phillips Catalogue on CD but would love to get one of those Rochlin Catalogues. I much prefer the paper types.
I have a JNF list from the Organization head office here in Jerusalem but it's a bit dated and they no longer produce them. The list follows the Kaplove number system.

Unfortunately the catalogues ship from the US, shipping to Canada is an eye watering US$75. Even with damaged cover this places it in the severely unaffordable category.

Oh that reminds me, the Rocky Mountain Philatelic library released a video called "JNF - Labels With A Purpose"
It is a good introduction to these stamps.
