pages in two albums, years range from 1835 to 1875, all between the U.S.
and German States or unified Germany, excellent variety of routes, lines,
rates and markings, each identified by sailing vessel, some covers
addressed beyond German borders with transit markings incl. scarce
"12-3/4/AMERICA/UBER BREMEN" and "AMERICA/UBER/BREMEN 33/9" handstamps and
script "By U. St. Mail" straightline, depreciated currency markings,
forwarders, a few with U.S. and German stamp frankings, all covers are
clean and sound, due to the complexity of U.S.-German mails, these covers
have enormous eye appeal and challenge the mind, there is a tremendous
wealth of analysis (including letters from noted researcher, Richard
Winter) to help explain the routes, rates and currency exchange notations,
more than a third of the covers are worth $100 each |
