15th International Stamp Auction

Main emphasis in the 15. International Stamp Auction, April 12th, 2012

Rarely offered envelopes and postcards of the ZEPPELIN AERA including POLAR TRIPS, letters of the LIECHTENSTEIN ZEPPELIN CONTRACT and SAAR ZEPPELIN CONTRACT with exceptional rare frankings. For instant a postcard from 1910 showing the FIRST SWISS AIRSHIP STATION LUCERNE and the so called PRALL (BLIMP) LUFTSCHIFF (item nr. 614) is on offer. Only 30 covers of the Liechtenstein Zeppelin Contract with drop in St. Gallen (item nr. 615) have been forwarded and only a few of these jewels have survived.

Incoming correspondence of the years 1940 to 1950 of an international enterprise from SIAM, THAILAND and MALAY STATES (Straits Settlements, Singapore, Japanese occupation etc.) to Switzerland and outgoing in the same period from Switzerland to Asian countries including SIAM, CHINA, BURMA, SINGAPORE, MALAY STATES etc., repertory for rare frankings. This is a postal history collection. Many have travelled lengthy, complicated and exotic routes, and the letters passed through many hands during war time. The quality of the covers cannot compare with modern first day covers.

The 15. Auction offers superb items from SWITZERLAND, especially Rayon, Strubel, Helvetias on granite paper, as well as unique covers from AUSTRIA, LIECHTENSTEIN, GERMANY and other European and worldwide countries (CHINA etc.)
