 | Lot #1388 GERMANY Zeppelin Flights 1937 Hindenburg flight cover from Rotterdam to Wooster, Ohio, addressed Mr. G. Thoolen, showing complete red cachet, part of departure pmks, relatively well preserved crash cover salvaged in burnt condition as always, rare "Thoolen" cover (identified by Dieter Leder to be No. 8 of the covers from the Netherlands, possibly with previous 12 1/2c Jamboree stamp), ex-Zvi Aloni (A number of Dutch covers were sent from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to Mr. G. Thoolen, c/o Mr. Donald E. Dickason, Wooster, Ohio, U.S.A. It is understood that each of these covers was franked with one 12 1/2c Jamboree stamp, but this cannot be confirmed due to the fact that the stamp on one of the covers was totally destroyed by the fire. The "Thoolen" covers were postmarked at Rotterdam-Waalhaven on May 1, 1937, then sent to Frankfurt, Germany, and placed on board the Hindenburg for the trip to America. Gerard Thoolen was a stamp dealer in Gravenhage. In 1936, he sent several covers by the airship "Hindenburg" to his colleague Donald E. Dickason in Wooster, Ohio, which he returned to Mr. Thoolen upon receipt. Mr. Dickason was then past president of the American Air Mail Society. Mr.Thoolen's Hindenburg crash covers were purchased by Mr. Dickason in 1937. Arthur Falk's "Hindenburg Crash Mail - The Search Goes on, 1976", lists 17 items mailed from the Netherlands. These are the "Thoolen" covers mentioned above. Further research by Sheryl Ganz in "Netherlands Hindenburg Crash Mail, 1985-86 and How Many of the Dutch Dispatches Survived?", increased the number to 26, that is nine covers in addition to the 17 "Thoolen" covers) | $4,500.00 To bid in this auction, please login or create a new account. |
