Description
Issued in 1926 during the League of Nations administration of the Saar Territory, Saar Scott #135 is a pictorial definitive stamp depicting an industrial steelworks complex along the Saar River, complete with factory buildings, smokestacks, and river traffic. The imagery emphasizes heavy industry, reflecting the region’s economic importance in the interwar period.
The stamp is inscribed “SAARGEBIET” across the top, clearly identifying its use within the Saar Territory during its separation from Germany following World War I. Printed in brown and engraved with fine line work, the design is framed by ornate classical columns and decorative scrollwork, combining industrial realism with traditional European stamp aesthetics.
This issue forms part of the Saar industrial and landscape pictorial definitive series, representing a mature phase of Saar postal design prior to the 1935 plebiscite, which returned the territory to German control.
This example is offered used, bearing a legible cancellation consistent with normal postal use. The central design remains clear and well-defined, with typical wear appropriate for the issue.
