Collection of IDF "Shanah Tovah" Greeting Cards – 1948-1949
Twenty nine IDF "Shanah Tovah" cards. (1948-1949) [some cards are possibly from later years].
Most cards are folded in half; on the inside is a space for adding the sender's name and a mounted independence war photograph, and on the outside – a "window" through which the photograph is seen (the photographs differ from each other: fighters, armored vehicles, aircrafts, parades, and more). The collection also includes a number of greeting cards for special units: navy, Negev Brigade, "Harel" Brigade, "Battalion 79", and other units.
Most of the cards bear the sender's name, dedications and greetings written by hand, and some bear postmarks and Israeli postal stamps.
Enclosed: A card with the IDF emblem and a frame with a soldier's photograph on top. On the bottom is an inscription: "Photo Kugel Haifa".
Size and condition vary. Good overall condition.
Provenance: Rimon Family Collection.
