b'76716C PC PS L THE TRANS-ATLANTIC CROSSINGS OF THE GRAF ZEPPELIN & THE HINDENBURGA superb collection of flown covers and cards carried by German Airships between 1924 (the forerunners on the Z.R.3 Los Angeles), and ending with the tragic destruction of the Hindenburg resulting in the loss of so many lives and the end of the dream of large scale commercial airship transportation. The collector has acquired many fine examples, primarily focused on, but not limited to, the flights between Germany and the United States, and every piece adds something different to the fascinating story. The collection is complimented by a library of reference material and associated publications. The intention was always to exhibit, and there is certainly enough material here for that; but circumstances have changed, and the task of telling the story will pass to the next owner. Sieger approx. 40,000 Euro.108 flown covers and cards; 20 reference books; 4 complete books of cigarette cards; a rare prospectus, with photographs issued for the LZ 126; plus a range of photographs, postcards,and associated items. $30,00040,000717German States & early Reich postal history including pre-stamp entires, postal stationery items, and a quantity of later items.
