Post-War Postal Charity Labels
This multi-coloured charity label depicts
a health resort and the Polish eagle.
Charity labels such as these were sold in the period immediately after World War II to raise
funds for the reconstruction of health resorts for Polish postal and telegraph workers.
It is inscribed "NA ODBUDOWE UZDROWISK", "Z.-Z.-PRAC. POCZTiTEL" and 5 zt (zloty).
A similar single coloured label is slightly smaller.
