Switzerland 2022 125yrs Chimney Sweeper Association Stamp with scratch off printing



Issue date 27 January 2022

The Swiss Post to commemorate 125yrs Chimney Sweeper Association has issued a special Stamp with scratch off printing. 

The special stamp shows a woman and a man in traditional costume with the typical tools of the trade. The chimneys that can be seen on the rooftops are grey but can be scratched clean to reveal the clover leaf  which brings luck on the roofs – with or without soot. Touching a chimney sweeper was believed to bring good luck in the New Year.
