AUSTRALIA POST in 1991 issued four first day cover stamps entitled "Golden Days of Radio".
Insomuch as I have a love for all things radio, the nostalgia of these stamps, and in particular the maxim cards drew my attention rather than the FDC envelope with the stamps. I grew up listening to old radios similar to the ones highlighted in the maxim cards. When I saw the canvas mesh/wooden cabinets, the valves (vacuum tubes), analog radio dial and the radio dramas/plays I had to have these cards.
By the way, a book on the radio heritage of Australia was published at the same time, using the silhouette concept for its cover.
