Vintage (Circa 1914–1919) Austria WW I Charity Poster Stamp 5 Heller Welfare Association Widows And Orphans Relief Unused No GumThis Austrian Poster Stamp Was Issued As A Charity Label By A Welfare Association (Wohlfahrtsverein) For The Support Of Widows And Orphans (Witwen- Und Waisenversorgung). It Features A Sepia-Toned Central Portrait Of A Man And Woman, Possibly Symbolizing A Deceased Soldier And His Surviving Wife, Framed By A Stylized Ornamental Green Border With Repeating Geometric Motifs. The Stamp Bears A “5 Heller” Denomination, Indicating Its Use As A Donation Or Fundraising Stamp Rather Than Postal Currency. Produced By The Firm Druck Koch & Werner In Vienna (Wien), This Stamp Likely Dates From The World War I Era Or Its Aftermath, When Civil Relief Organizations Played A Crucial Role In Aiding Families Of Fallen Soldiers. The Use Of Portrait Photography Combined With Decorative Print Design Reflects A Common Austro-Hungarian Style In Charitable Ephemera From The 1910s. The Stamp Is In Well-Preserved Condition With No Visible Defects. Country Of Origin: Austria.
