Forerunner

 PDF Print E-mail
Forerunner is a stamp or postal stationery item used in a given location prior to the issuing of regular stamps for that location.

Turkish stamps before 1918 canceled in Palestine are forerunners of Israeli issues. So are the various European nations' issues for use in Palestine, and the subsequent issues of the Palestine Mandate.

The term ""forerunner"" is also used to describe a stamp issued before another stamp or set, if the earlier issue may have influenced the design or purpose of the later issue
