Help Me Identify This Romanian Stamp

John Hixson

Can anyone help me identify this Romanian stamp? It seems to have something to do with tuberculosis and has a cross of Lorraine on it but I don't think it's a semi-postal. Thanks for any help.

As I don't find these in my Scott's catalog, I'm guessing that they are not postal stamps? Is that correct?

John Hixson

They must be like our Tuberculosis Association's Christmas seals.

I couldn't find them listed in Scott's classic specialized catalog either. The only information I could find was a 1934 set that looks very similar to your stamp. I did find a lot of information online about Queen Marie and all her work she did with tuberculosis victims.

Thanks, Lauren. That's very helpful. I'll just bet you a nickel they're fund raiser seals and not postage stamps. Your set looks very much like it covers my stamp. I'm going to assume it's not a collection item. Thanks again for the help.
