COVER ACCUMULATIONS — Germany and Area
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
527CVPostal cards and postcard group of 38 all having something to do with the Herero Wars circa 1904 somewhere in South West Africa. Real photo cards, soldier's mail, and German Southwest Africa cancels are the philatelic highlights. A couple have been preliminarily translated into English with exceptional results. Very mixed condition as most of these traveled hundreds and hundreds of miles to keep the Fatherland notified. If your German is good there are discoveries in the historical sense to be uncovered.Cat. Value: S.B. 650.00
Price Realized: $650.00
528CVTwo cartons of Germany and area covers fresh from an area estate. Purchased over many years at local bourses and even from long ago mail auctions. Around 1200 covers and cards not counting the 1979 postal stationery in the unopened packs that we sold back in 1991. Interesting postal stationery (over half the lot) that at one time was organized, but now a bit jumbled. All the covers saved for some now forgotten reason offered here in one lot. Totally unsearched by us. Lots of internet potential.Cat. Value: S.B. 600.00
Price Realized: $1,100.00
529CVGermany offices and colonies group of 27 covers and cards all postally or philatelically used in the time of issue. Most are offices in Turkey with a few from the island countries. Seldom seen on the market today.Cat. Value: S.B. 375.00
Price Realized: $800.00
