Description
Austria Scott #555 (Mint Never Hinged) is a beautifully engraved 7s definitive from the celebrated Costumes Series issued by the Republic of Austria. This stamp features a woman from the Steiermark Sulmtal region, dressed in traditional attire unique to Styria. The design is rendered in soft grey-black tones, giving it a refined, almost photographic quality that highlights both the costume’s texture and the engraver’s skill.
This example is MNH with full original gum, showing fresh color, clean margins, and excellent overall condition. The Costumes Series remains a favorite among collectors for its accurate representation of Austria’s regional heritage and its classic mid-20th-century engraving. A strong addition to any Austria or European cultural-history collection.
