Jerusalem Sports and Stamp Club





John Zaso produced a line of silk and hand painted cachets. He started out as a partner of Ray Novak producing the Colorano Silk cachets. After splitting with the Colorano line, Zaso would produce many cachets for sporting events, and other non-first day covers..

These are part of a Jerusalem based series that featured both hand painted and silk cachets. I could not find too much information about these, although all of the Israeli postmark are Christmas themed. All are postmarked between 1979 and 1982.
All of these were internet finds, mostly available on eBay...
