image Worldwide Rare Collection of 1957 UPU Congress Presentation Folders, from about 60 different countries, offered by delegates of those countries during the famous 1957 UPU Congress in Ottawa, Canada.

Countries of note include China, Saudi Arabia, Iceland, Russia, Burma, Japan, Ireland, India, Iraq, South Africa, and 50 more.

A very difficult collection to assemble, with many better sets and singles and probably a high catalogue value. (Image)
