The well-known toilet cleaning product with the curved duck neck was invented by Walter-Düring-Orlob in Switzerland in 1980. Today, the "WC duck" is sold worldwide.
Swiss Post wants to pay tribute to this inventive spirit with the latest special stamp, as the company announced on Thursday. There have already been stamps featuring the Velcro fastener, the garlic press, the Barryvox avalanche transceiver and Menzi Muck - all Swiss inventions.
Dove of peace and tribute to Jean Tinguely
Swiss Post is issuing two further special stamps in honor of Jean Tinguely and the international "Dove of Peace" initiative. The Swiss painter and sculptor Tinguely would have been 100 years old this year. "With his kinetic works of art, he is one of the most important and innovative Swiss artists of the 20th century," wrote Swiss Post. The company is dedicating a stamp to him in a wide special format with ten figures from the Basel Carnival Fountain created by Tinguely.
An embroidered stamp with a dove as a symbol of peace and unity is part of the international "Dove of Peace Stamp" initiative. Postal administrations from various countries as well as the United Nations and the Universal Postal Union are involved.
