On Wednesday and Thursday, 19 & 20 April 2023, our 231st auction for stamps, coins and postal history will take place with an attractive offer of 3,553 lots of international philately and numismatics.
For our 231st auction, we received many interesting and substantial consignments from a wide variety of collecting areas from Germany to overseas.
We would like to highlight the Old German States (over 1,220 lots), including Brunswick and the Kingdom of Hanover with rare stamps such as Brunswick No. 13 A in cabinet condition, Oldenburg with selected quality pieces, Saxony with two "Sachsendreier", one of them with a rare cancellation of "GROSSENHAYN" (so far only known twice on this stamp), Saxony with lots from a special collection "Reused postmarks on "shield" covers" and many more.
As a small sensation we offer with lot 3284 a collection of original contract and postal documents between the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg and the Principality of Thurn & Taxis from 1616 - 1792 about the execution of the mail to Brunswick, apparently a new discovery, estimate 2.500 €.
Furthermore the "German Reich" with rarities like no. 81 Bb, 96 BII aW (Wm. rings) and a beautifully used. Nothilfe-Block "genuine and perfect", more than 350 lots "Germasn Colonies and offices abroad" with strong stamp parts, interesting covers from the point of view of postal history and special cancellations, besides "German Offices in China" with the rare 1st issue of the "Futschau Privisional issue". Futschau Provisional issue 5 pf on 10 Pf" (No. 7IA), great colonial rarities from the former German Caroline Islands (bisects, cash franking, hands overprints) as well as top values and rare varieties of many other colonial areas.
The collection department comprises around 350 lots, mostly untouched items, collections and estates, including the liquidation of a substantial "All World" stock of a former mail order supplier, numerous large lots as well as valuable coin collections, investment and collector coins from over 2300 years of coinage history.
