This famous provisional was created on April 13, 1901 on board the cruiser SMS Vineta. As the postal officer had not been supplied with 3 Pfennig Germania stamps, he bisected his stock of the 5 Pfennig stamps and stamped them by hand with a "3 PF" mark. Mail with the Vineta provisional stamp was sent from Pernambuco to Germany on April 17, 1901. Only 600 were surcharged, with majority destroyed or disappeared over the years, making this provisional one of the rarities of German philately (Mi.AI)

1918-1940 balance of the specialized collection in three albums, hundreds of errors and varieties, excellent showing of the Vilnius and Kaunas typesets, Berlin issues, with excellent representation of errors and varieties. From 1920 on, most of the issues are replete with complete blocks of four (many n.h.), sometimes also used blocks and larger multiples, as well as sheets. The emphasis of the collection is on errors and varieties, hence we find imperforate and part perf. singles, pairs, blocks, double perforations, inverted and double overprints, surcharges, watermark varieties, double papers, plus others, mostly unused, few covers, generally fine-v.f. Assembled over a period of 40 years, this balance is truly an opportunity for collectors and dealers alike to acquire a valuable holding of Lithuanian philately
