Manama / Ajman year 1968 Animals – Cats stamps set MNH**
The stamps from Manama and Ajman in the late 1960s are part of a philatelic era where many of the Trucial States (now the UAE) issued a vast number of colorful, topical stamps, primarily for the collector market rather than for regular postal use. The Cats set is a popular example of this.
