SCHWANKE & SOHN
BRIEFMARKENAUKTIONEN GmbH
(Hamburg,
Germany: Sale No. 326)
A +5,000
Lot public auction being conducted at their
Schwanke
Auction Rooms,
located at Kleine Reichenstraße 1, Hamburg. Although overall strong in
Germany
and the
German
Areas,
the offerings allow for many other bidding opportunities for better
non-German areas.
Highlights
of the sale include several specialized collections, to include:
~~~
The ‘Bailev’ Collection of the Cancellations of the
Austrian Levant: With more than 100
individual lots, this collection contains all the different town
cancellations which were in use from the beginning of the Austrian services
to the end in the year of 1915. Noted among the other rarities are fine
strikes of ‘CZERNAWODA’, ‘LEROS’,
‘SINOPE’, and ‘TENEDOS’, to
just name a few. There is also a documentation for the ‘Salonika’
Branch Post Office, and the Trial Cancellations, which were in
use in Minor Asia during the turn of the 19th century.
~~~
The Jürgen Zahn collection of
Ethiopia: This comprehensive collection features the postal
history of Ethiopia from the times of the
Napier Expedition in 1867-68 until year 2000, w/ special
strengths in the early period through to ca. 1910. Highlights incl an 1868
G. Rohlfs letter to Germany dated 1868 (‘FIELD
FORCE POST OFFICE / ABYSSINIA’), numerous combination covers and
cards of the 1898-1908 period, as well as Proofs and Trial
Overprints of the 1920’s issues.
The
Ethiopia 1894 ‘Province
Block’ is offered; the item is considered in many quarters to be
the world’s first Souvenir Sheet. This sometimes-doubted issue is said to
have been produced by the Swiss Postmaster Alfred Ilg, but it was recognized
by the Ethiopian postal authorities, and published in their official stamp
catalogue as the first issue of the country.
---------------------------------------------
The
British Commonwealth also is well
represented items in the sale w/ ca. 500 single lots and a 150 lots and
collections from the various areas The collections, which were sourced from
two =different consignors, cover the QV-through-KGV periods.
