Interesting Items For Hindenburg Collectors And For Reference

I've attached a couple Hindenburg items for your pleasure. Found them sorting through some boxes I had packed away 30 years ago.

Thanks for posting stampdorkman.

Here is an envelope carried on that first US to Frankfurt flight by the Hindenburg.



Philatelic of course.
Rudolf Dinnebier (1880-1946) was a fairly well-known stamp dealer who seems to have made a specialty in aerophilately. Interestingly, a badly burned cover addressed to him was one of the very few (368) pieces of mail salvaged from the 1937 crash, kind of bookending things. That one was sold (not to me) as lot 547 of the Kelleher sale 643 in 2014 at just a tenth of its estimate. https://www.stampcircuit.com/stamp-...hts-zeppelin

thanks for sharing that link - I have a few crash covers but that is the ultimate crash cover.

Here's a link to a much older thread about a burned piece of mail. Not a Hindenburg, but a good story embedded.

Definitely a good story as were some of the replies to it. Thanks for sharing - enjoyed it very much.

Nice letter and very informative
