Switzerland - Menke-Huber postcards

The firm Menke-Huber in Zurich issued some postcards with replicas of the first stamps of Switzerland (about 1910). This firm bought and sold stamps of all countries. The firm Henry Heller also issued the same cards. The stamps are well designed and some were cut out, applied glue and sold as genuine (see singles included). Cancels on postcards look genuine (all with the same date). Given the time period there was little information on fake stamps to prove otherwise.
The postcards are still readily availble at $10-$15 each.







Single stamps cut outs and shown on auctions as genuine.
