1938			PHENOMENAL GERMAN PRESTAMP &: STAMPLESS POSTAL HISTORY COLLECTION One man’s life long collection has now become available in ten substantial albums. The collection has been enthusiastically formed, clearly with a passion for details with virtually every cover receiving its own informative write up. The collections contains well over 600 covers including many attractive ‘Schnorkel Brief’, as well as containing many covers with elaborate and excellent calligraphy. Also despite the large number of the covers contained in this collection the manner in which the covers have been stored means that the collection is both clear and easy to view. The sheer scale of the collection and the style of it’s presentation offer the viewer a huge variety of wide variety of pre-philatelic postal history. There are many German postmarks, many of which are scarce and mostly in excellent condition. The collection contains an eclectic mix of covers varying from large towns to smaller villages, as well as containing small and unusual postmarks from villages that no longer exist. The postmarks have a variety of dates listed on them with some of them as early as late 17th century through to the 19th century. The time span that this collection contains means that the viewer would not only gain insight into an important source of postal history but also some exceptional primary sources. The postmarks come in a wide range of styles including; concentric circles in blue, with origins from places such as Markoedenborg, Wolfenbuttel, Sarstedt, Selsingen, Bremen and Frankfurt etc. A portion of the covers received had their postmarks in red straight lines of which some came from Goettinger, Constanz, Bonndorf, Hufingen, etc. Other postmarks include of course, black straight line, with origins from places such as; Gnessen, Wiessensee, Kloetze, Raderstadt, Dinslaken, Imgen Broich, Kowalewo (which is now a part of Poland), Holzminden, Zempelburg (a province that was lost to Germany during the break up of the Prussian empire), Gnadenfeld, Ratzeburg, Swinemunde, Greofswald, Pelpin, Kowalso, etc. The black circle postmarks also contains a variety of small and relatively obscure villages including; Schmiedeberg, Schlochau, Donaveschingen, Culm, etc. The black semi ovals have a wonderfully mixed set of origins such as; Keoster Flenesbronn, Memmingen, Lubeck, Potsham, Stuggart, Urach, etc. The huge variety of the postmarks means that the collection includes semi ovals of different colours, including a blue semi oval postmark which come from various places as large as Braunscheweig to as small as Gaildorf. Also ‘blue box’ postmarks, includeing both towns and villages such as Oker, Dorum, Neustadt, etc. Plus various military correspondence including ‘Kaiser Franz Drenad. Regiment/ 2nd Battalion’ 1848 and a correspondence relevant to ‘12, Inf. Regiments Fusilier Bat’. While the majority of the albums contain a variety of keenly chronicled and historicized covers, book 9 particularly fascinates with the unusual selection of postmarks and correspondence including governmental, military, royal and civil service and other fascinating correspondence including good ephemera and collateral material as well. A healthy portion of the correspondence in book 9 relate to the Danish-German war often engaged in the late 18-19th century to establish the status of Schleswig-Holstein. Due to the large size of the collection there is very occasionally lesser quality covers yet overall this is certainly not at all apparent. Through the period of forming the collection the previous owner spent over 20000 Euro (equivalent to over $30000 at the time of press) to gain such a thorough and impressive range of chronologized postal history. He made some very astute purchases too, with each page clearly inventoried and with his costing over the years itemized at the beginning of each album, page for page. We have valued this collection at between $8000 to $10000, this is a conservative figure placing each cover at about $12 dollars each (i.e. about 8 euro each). There is very little material worth under $10 each. It is therefore a tremendous opportunity for a dealer to break down for stock or for a collector to build on in good quality. Offered intact as received, please allow plenty of time for viewing as you might well find this is one of the best lots in the German postal history section of the auction.[v]	Est. $8000-10000

1945			VOLUMINOUS GERMANY COLLECTION eight volumes including a useful range of locals 1945/47 with Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg Vorpommern, Schwerin, etc. Lots of good items here, highly specialized and neatly displayed with the possibility of rarities in Michel, if you have considerable patience! What is specifically good is that this collector has written it up well, using Michel numbers and consequently the job is made considerably easier of identification and possible verification. The only question is how good and methodical was the collector in his categorizing – from what we have checked with our limited knowledge in this very specialized and complex philatelic area, everything has distinct differences for its respective numbers and probably is therefore correct. Other good areas include DDR virtually complete from 1949 onwards, Berlin with the black o/ps complete mint never hinged and signed, similarly with the red o/p complete this time used. This is followed by 1949 UPU complete used, the Goethe series complete, the Berlin green o/ps, the Bears complete, the Berlin Philharmonic complete superb used etc and virtually every other good series, definitive or commemorative, including the 70pf green mint never hinged. Another useful book, this time Third Reich not quite complete but lots of sets to the 40 pf purple, as well as superb used pair of the Olympics m/s and other Hitler m/s permutations, including the scarce rouletted used and imperf used, as well as the 2 Reichsmark o/ps complete on Danzig etc through to 1945. Another book focuses on German States including a mint #1 Bavaria signed by Carl H. Zange, in our opinion obviously regummed and not counted accordingly. Plenty of other better imperfs including fascinating covers to investigate, ending with Wurttemburg. Other areas include Allied Occupation, also represented with highlights such as very fine used Red Cross and building m/s, the latter imperf and perf for Baden and the Red Cross for all three Zones, all cancels correct and contemporaneous, even the series themselves, not just the m/s, followed by a good range of posthorns o/ps, a specialised study of the buildings definitives ending with the Exportmesse Hannover 1949 superb used - this book is probably the most valuable here. Other volumes include German Empire from the shields onwards, with useful ranges of Germanias, through to the inflation issues, Zepps and better commems such as the Wagner with the 20pf and the 40pf mint never hinged! Also present West Germany virtually complete in the 8th and final volume, besides much more here than the above description. A very good old fashioned collectors collection well worth spending time on and a delight to view.[v]	Est. $4750-5500

Among the Federal Republic covers we noted significant value in commercial usages of the stamps of the late 1940s to early 1950s including 1948 Buildings issues, 1951 Posthorns as well as the highly collectable commemoratives of the early 1950s, majority are addressed to the United States. This section also contains dozens of FDCs from the early 1950s including 1949 Reconstruction set, 1952 Otto, National Museum (3), 1953 Transport (3), Stamp Exhibit, and 1955 Airmail set and finally a group of used Airletter sheets to the US. The Soviet and Allied Occupation section also represents substantial value especially among the French Zone with issues for Baden, Rheinland and Wurttemburg. Among the Soviet Zone we noted dozens of Locals for Dresden, Thuringen, Storkow, Strausberg and Grossraschen among many others. Also in this section is a small group of East Germany, most notably the 1950 DEBRIA S/S on FDC. Finally, the Berlin section is replete with several dozen examples of the 1948 Black Overprints and 1949 Red Overprints on cover along with significant value among the commemorative issues of the early 1950s with some FDCs. This is one of those remarkable cover lots that will be long remembered by every viewer with much Fine-VF and valuable material.[v]	Est. $4000-5000

The first box starts with a rather small section of material issued prior to 1945. The real strength of this first box is the Federal Republic material which is generally NH. Third Reich material is the real strength of the second box which starts the Semi-Postal section while the third box holds Semi-Postal new issues and a small section of Danzig and Saar which should not be overlooked. Berlin nearly fills the fourth and the final box is jammed full with mostly mint sets from East Germany.
