Many in less than perfect condition except for the Lepzig Fair collection in three binders. Around 450 covers in all with small pockets of: Building issues, censored, rohrpost, early post WWII, and Trans Atlantic flights. Should be a bargain at our suggested bid.Cat. Value: S.B. 500.00

495CVOld world cover and used postal stationery accumulation of over 300 items put away decades ago. Strong Germany especially States and Colonies. A serious collection put together during the 1920s. Huge catalog in mixed condition. Uses old German hinges, mucilage and flour paste to hold the easily salvageable entires and covers in place in an old turn of the last century scrapbook. Includes covers and entires from all over the world. Great to view a holding like this that is in its original collection from two generations back. Personal inspection of the handful of Thurn and Taxis folded letters will be especially valuable in forming a productive bid.Cat. Value: S.B. 500.00
Price Realized: $800.00
496CVSmall group of around 500 pieces of mainly postal stationery from around the sphere of German influence. All eras represented, but well over 75% are from 1905-1938. No propaganda cards.

Price Realized: $90.00
