Magyar Posta is issuing a special miniature sheet stamp entitled "Hungarian old-timer motorcycles". On each denomination of the miniature sheet containing twelve stamp designs a vehicle is shown from the Maróti Motorcycle collection, and the background design is decorated with a montage of contemporary photographs ad newspaper articles. On the special envelope the picture of a letter-collecting motor-tricycle can be seen, which was built on the basis of the plans of János Csonka and belongs to the collection of the Postal Museum. The special postage stamp shows a stylised motorcycle wheel with spokes and a valve, where the tyre is formed by words. The special feature of the miniature sheet is that for the first time in the history of issuing Hungarian stamps, the offset printing method was supplemented with so-called 3D UV varnishing, as a result of which the surface of the motorcycles slightly stands out of the plane of the paper sheet and has a unique glitter. The new stamp was produced by Prime Rate and Pénzjegynyomda, using the photographs of József Maróti, based on the plans of Attila Elekes, stamp designer graphic artist. The new product is available from 9 September at big post offices and at Filaposta, and it can also be ordered from Magyar Posta's webshop. It was the Royal Hungarian Post Office, which, in 1900, for the first time in Europe, automated letter and parcel delivery by using the tricycle designed by János Csonka. By this Magyar Posta acquired unquestionable merits in the history of Hungarian motorcycle production technology. The twelve Hungarian motorcycles shown on the miniature sheet represent the most popular motorcycles manufactured in Hungary. The last Hungarian motorcycle production line finished its operation in 1975 in Csepel.
