Not in every case but for the earlier years there is hinging on the Exportmesse Hannover m/s of 1949. However the castle series is complete to the 5 Dm and is never hinged, as are the nh pair of currency sheets, both perf and imperf of 1946 for Berlin. This continues through to the posthorns of 1951 which are complete, hinged. There are many of the other series of that period nevertheless mint never hinged! We have not had time to turn back the transparent hawid strips for all the series and it is not clearly not consistent chronologically for hinging. Also seen rather unusal strips of 5 of the Heuss numbered coils firstly the 10pf to 40pf series and then the 5pf to 70pf series both complete all strips never hinged. This collection makes for a very pleasant viewing with no empty spaces and significant extras as well, no doubt listed in Michel, well worth close inspection. | Est. $1200-1500 | |

| 3598 | | VALUABLE USED GERMANY AND GERMAN AREA COLLECTION housed in four old albums including one Lighthouse, an old Kabe and two old Schaubek albums, and despite the scruffy appearance of the albums, the contents are, indeed, worthwhile. The first album holds the German Offices and Colonies collection which is somewhat scattered, though value is found in the Occupation issues of WWI for Belgium, France and Romania along with some better WWII issues of the General Government. The next album houses the German States and German area collection which has a strong section of Bavaria and Wurttemburg with a well-filled section of Prussia and other scattered German States, the strength of this album lies in German area including a very respectable collection of Danzig that includes 1924 Scenic Views set, 1926 Charity set, 1932 Airmail Exhibit set, 1934 Airmail Overprint set and then a section of Allenstein, Memel and Marienwerder. The third album contains the main Germany collection and the real heart of the collection beginning with a strong showing of the Small and Large Shields that are nearly complete followed closely by the 1874 Overprint set and the 1900 5M Type II, the inflation period is very well-filled as is the Nazi period of the 1930s and 1940s that includes a virtually complete section of the Charity issues of the period such as 1923-24 Charity sets, the 1930-32 Scenic Views Charity sets, 1933 Opera and 1934 Workers sets along with the highlights of the collection in the form of the Souvenir Sheets of the period, namely the 1930 IPOSTA S/S, 1933 Nothilfe S/S (creased) and 1935 OSTROPA S/S (faulty), the next section is a virtually complete group of the Airmail issues including all the Zeppelin sets and then finally the 1945 Storm Trooper set (not signed). The final album contains the occupation issues for the Soviet, French and British &: American Zones beginning with the 1949 Goethe S/S, 1946 Stamp Exhibit S/S set and 1949 Hannover S/S along with the 1948 Overprints from the British &: American Zones, and finally the collection concludes with a section of French Saar. A full appreciation of the depth of this collection can only be obtained by the devotion of a block of time for viewing. | Est. $5000-7500 | |
