Vintage Cars…

 

Date of Issue : 28 September 2011

Faroe Islands Post will issue a set of three stamps and a miniature sheet featuring vintage cars of Faroe Islands. “Vinatge Cars “ is a popular theme and many postal administrations have issued stamps on this theme. Faroe Islands Post will also issue a SEPAC 2011 stamp on the same day featuring scenery which is the theme of SEPAC issues .

Vintage cars

Each vintage car featured on  stamps has its own unique story. The black lorry was the first vehicle to arrive in the Faroe Islands in 1922. The red bus that operated between Vestmanna, Kvívík and Kollafjørður was converted from a tanker and the home-made ‘De Luxe Model’  was the first car on the island to have a cassette player and loudspeakers.

The first car on the Faroe Islands

The first car arrived on the island on 6 May 1922 when Johannes Olsen and Júst Sivertsen from Tórshavn bought a Ford TT truck from Wenzel Petersen and Vilhelm Nielsen, who had a forge in Quillingsgård in Tórshavn.

‘De Luxe Model’ built on the Faroe Islands

In the mid-1950s a home-made Faroese car drove through the streets of Tórshavn. It belonged to the Norwegian Almar Nordhaug, who built the car together with his colleagues at the barrel factory in Tórshavn. It was not unusual to convert cars in the Faroe Islands in the mid-20th century, but the car they built at the factory was unique and far ahead of its time.

Srirangam is located 2 Km north of Tiruchirappalli City. The postmark depicts Sheshanaag. In Hindu tradition, Shesha or Adi-shesha (Sheshanaag) is the king of all nagas (snakes/serpents), one of the primal beings of creation. Shesha is generally depicted with a massive form that floats coiled in space, or on the universal ocean, to form the bed on which Lord Vishnu lies. The Srirangam temple complex is composed of 7 concentric walled sections and 21 gopurams (towers). The main gopuram of the temple is called the Rajagopuram and is 236 feet (72 m) tall, the tallest in Asia. The temple has numerous pillars with intrinsic sculptures. The Shesharaya mandapa (Horsecourt Hall) is in the eastern entrance of the temple and has 8 intricately carved monolithic (carved of single rock) pillars of men on rearing horses (depicted on special cover  as well as in photo).

The Wonders of Number 9

The number 9 is the number of regeneration. A new birth. Spirituality, self-extension, premonition, going forth, voyaging. Telaesthesia, dreaming, clairvoyance, clairaudience. Reformation, nebulosity, pulsation, rhythm; reaching out, extension, publication; archery, prediction, revelation; a thought-wave, apparition, wraith, mist, cloud, obscurity, exile, mystery. Such people have a muscular and strong build. It represents aggressive action, penetration, courage and conflict. The number 9 is the number of originality and initiative...also the contradictory traits of vulnerability and naivet?. It is the symbol of Mars. The colors that harmonize with the number 9 vibration are: crimson or ruby red (with no orange tones), true blue, and pure white.
