The collection contains a wide range of genuine postal history material from Germany and other European countries, together with several interesting items from the United States and Great Britain. The main strength of the collection lies in German and Central European postal history, including material from the German Empire, Bavaria, Austria/Austro-Hungary, Bohemia/Czechoslovakia and Switzerland. Included are: postal stationery cards and envelopes correspondence cards and letter cards registered covers and registered postal stationery uprated and mixed-franking items commercial correspondence international mail early postal cards and stationery various cancellations, transit and arrival markings censorship and auxiliary markings exhibition and commemorative cancellations handwritten correspondence and postal documents items from Germany, Bavaria, Austria, Bohemia, Switzerland, Italy, USA, Great Britain and other European areas Among the more interesting pieces are early German and Bavarian postal stationery, registered Central European covers, Austrian and Bohemian material, American registered and uprated postal stationery, early international correspondence, censored mail and a variety of unusual postal usages and cancellations. The collection spans several decades and offers considerable variety in postal rates, destinations, frankings and postal markings, making it particularly suitable for collectors of postal history, postal stationery, cancellations and European classical mail. The album has been assembled over many years and the material has not been individually expertised or catalogued. It is therefore offered as an intact study collection, with the possibility of interesting discoveries for the specialist collector. Condition varies according to age. Many items are more than 100 years old and naturally show normal signs of postal use, handling and storage. Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the description. The complete collection shown in the photographs is included in the lot.
