1938 Anniversary of the Birth of Graf en von Zeppelin Registered cover

Lot 625

Graf von Zeppelin was born 9 July 1838 in Konstanz a. Bodensee. He was educated for a military career, and was commissioned in 1858. He retired in 1891 with the rank of general, and turned to airship design and manufacture. The first of Zeppelin’s dirigibles flew in 1900, and commercial services in Germany began in 1910. The construction of Zeppelin airships proceeded rapidly for both military and civilian use, and played a significant role during World War I. Zeppelin died 8 March 1917 in Charlottenburg.
A Zeppelin Post Exhibition was sponsored by the Stamp Collectors Club of Konstanz where the 8 July 1938 postmark (above) and a slogan postmark were used.
