BUDAPEST CHAIN BRIDGE

Post by aukepalmhof » Sun Dec 17, 2017 7:05 pm

For the 150th Anniversary of the Budapest Ketten (Chain) Bridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_Bridge_(Budapest)

Hungary issued a miniature sheet in 1999, which shows the bridge and passing under the bridge a paddle steamer.
The MS has near the paddle steamer the inscription OROSZ but a paddlesteamer under that name I could not find, most probably the stamp designer name. The stylistic paddle steamer represent a design of an early paddle steamer used on the Danube River.

Hungary 1999 150 Fl, sgMS?, scott?
