United Kingdom. Egyptian "No Service" mail sent to Israel: 23-7-1956 airmail cover from ALEXANDRIA to SOUTH AMBLTON (UK) whose sender & addressee details placed erroniously in incorrect locations on the envelope's front; franked 52m & dispatched from ALEXANDRIA, but as sender's name "Esmaiel" & appears in addressee field, the Egyptian post office treated it as "Israel", censored it (K-Type-7, #80) & marked it "no relaciones" + "retour" (red manuscript), indicating the address in the return address field (the actual intended address); cover dispatched to UK where the post office processed the letter based on the information in the addressee section (the sender's information) - and again misunderstood his name as "Israel" & erroniously dispatched it there, and did not delivered locally as intended; backstamped 17-8-56 TEL AVIV arrival. Unusually not censored in Israel. As per the red crayon "Retour" manuscript on back, it appears the cover was then "returned" to the UK, to the originally intended addresee. A rare instance of Egyptian mail reaching Israel; only one known Egyptian-UK-Israel cover. Slit open at top.

United Kingdom. Britain(?): cloth patch of the "HaBonim" movement, circa. 1930s; size: 7 x 10.15cm. The patch depicts the emblem of the movement: a large Hebrew letter 'B' encasing the Land of Israel, with a palm tree and Star of David; the word "HaBonim" ['The Builders'] is written in Hebrew on the bottom stroke of the large letter. HaBonim was founded in 1928-1929 as a non-partisan [their site describes the movement as non-Zionist, but their activites - by definition - were Zionist] "Jewish youth cultural movement" for youths aged 12-18. The movement taught its members modern Hebrew, Jewish history and songs and dances of the Jewish settlers in Palestine; it was modelled on the world boy-scout movement and adopted the incorporation of agricultural training for its members' future in Palestine. The movement expanded quickly and reached over 2500 member worldwide within ten years. In 1982 it merged with the Dror movement. Famous former members include Chaim Herzog, Golda Meir and Stanley Fischer.

South Africa. South Africa > Orange Free State: Jewish merchant 2 Shilling cupro-nickel token for "Daniel & Hyman" business of Bloemfontein, 1867; not maker-marked; size: 30mm; weight: 6.85g. Obverse bears "2/=" denomination in center and legend in Afrikaans "Goed Voor Daniel & Hyman". On reverse coat of arms of the Orange Free State, and legend in Afrikaans all around "Bloemfontein Oranje Vry Staat 1867". The partners Daniel and Hyman established their "Storekeepers and General Dealers" business on 1 January 1864, and issued these tokens to overcome a shortage of small change. These were a unique production as the city had been using cardboard "good for" tokens which quickly became damaged. One hundred pounds of these tokens were minted in 4 denominations for the business in 1867 by a Birmingham-based coinmaker but were quickly withdrawn by the company when cointerfeits appeared, making them now rare.
