    Deutsch Ostafrika 1904: 5 P Antwortganzsachenkarte mit Bedarfstext betreffend einer Lloyd Agentur aus Chinde Mozambique, hier unnötigerweise mit einer Freimarke von Portugiesisch Zambezia zusätzlich freigemacht, gerichtet an einen Oskar Marschner in Mwaya (MUAJA) vor der Eröfnung der dortigen Postanstalt. Der Wertstempel und die Zusatzfrankatur sind entwertet Deutsche Seepost Ostafrika Linie p 21/1 04. Die Karte wurde in Tanga erst am 9/3 an Land gegeben und lief dann über Daressalam und Langenburg nach MUAJA. Der Frageteil muss wohl über Fort Johnson Nyassaland gelaufen sein, der Stempel befindet sich auf der Rückseite gehört aber nicht zum Laufweg. Auch wirft dieser aussergewöhliche Kolonialbeleg diverse Fragen auf, nicht zuletzt warum zwischen der Abstempelung an Bord RPD PRINZREGENT und der Weiterleitung in Tanga etwa vierzig Tage liegen.

    1902: Barnum & Bailey, 'The Greatest Show on Earth', the most famous Circus company of the time, two pre-printed envelopes in different designs, probably from a European tour in 1902 from NEUILLY (SEINE) to ZURICH, addressed to the Operationsmanager of the Swiss Railways. The Circus was famous for travelling in its own train, which was also the home to its Artists. In this context a correspondence with railway ops is very plausible and shines a light on the Circus' history.  The heavy contents have left minor traces of wear on one envelope, which nonetheless is a great asset to any thematic collection 'Circus'.

Bonaparte' despatch cds and boxed PD in red alongside. Reverse with "ALCALA DE HENs / MADRID 28 OCT 70" arrival cds. An amazing item, covers from the 'Neptune' are missing from the most advanced collections of Ballons montés. Maury = € 15'000 for the Neptune + € 5'000 for the destination Spain / Lhéritier = € 18'300 + 4'600. Note: This is the first entire from a most interesting correspondence of six entire letters, written by a wife to her husband and children in Spain, a new find. This item was despatched on September 19, the day the Prussian troups have closed the siège, the letter deals with the mail from Spain which arrived in Paris the day before. It does not show an endorsement 'Ballon Monté' just 'Espagne par Bayonne', because this service and terminology has not been established as the first balloon, the 'Neptune' did not depart earlier than September 23rd. This lack of endorsement is typical for the first balloons.

The 1862 perforated issue contains a fine block of four of the 20c blue on cover from LUNEL to MONTPELLIER. The subsequent 1863 issue includes an exceptional 5f Napoleon of superb appearance, as well as two lesser copies. The BORDEAUX issue is is also strong with 40 stamps, a pair of the 30c brown and a letter.

Following the turn of the century there is a smattering of unused stamps, as well as a significant number of interesting covers and letters. The quality is naturally mixed but much above average for the period. A rewarding collection.
