In this 31st auction once again an extraordinarily diverse but rich in content offer in 10 catalogs. A total of almost 30,000 lots from 1,700 consignors from all over the world will be auctioned. As a known Asia specialist the auction house Gärtner starts the first day of the auction with more than 2,000 single lots from Asia with many highlights such as India and Chinese Aerograms.
On Monday UN collectors will find everything their heart desires. For this section an elaborately designed special catalogue “United Nations” with nearly 1,400 lots – mostly single lots. With the consignment of the Gaines-Collection and other large, rare offers the Bietigheim-Bissingen situated company succeeded in offering an extraordinary range in its June auction, which is unprecedented in Europe.
The single lots section Overseas, Europe and Themes includes ca. 8,000 lots from fine classic stamps to modern rarities. Here – not to be expected differently – many pieces thoroughly researched postal history (e.g. an extremely attractive Double Geneva on cover), rare stamps (including a mint block of four Belgium no. 1) and other curiosities.
The single lots Germany contains more than 8,000 lots with a particularly broad range of classic stamps and covers from the old German states to the postwar period. E.g. you will find a Schleswig-Holstein cover bearing three no. 1 or the probable rarest stamp of Germany, the 20 Mark Bayern with SAARE overprint.
Nearly 8,000 collections, legacies and bigger lots offer something for every collector. From exciting, small lots containing letters or stamps to top collections as the award winning Large-Gold collection “Postal History of Latvia” with numerous rarities and unique items.
Also there an curiosity – the special collection Napoleon by Edmund Wagner, which is unique both in terms of quality as well as its scope. Over decades the collector from Karlsruhe passionately gathered a highly amazing collection containing 3,000 toy soldiers, 500 books, several hundred magazines and about 1,300 folders with pictures of army uniforms (incl. scientific description). Among them are many original Rousselot and Knötel boards. (Minimum Bid: 100,000.- Euro)
Postcards, coins, medals and paper money – in single lots and collections – complete the auction. The separate catalogue for postcards bears on its front page a real Picasso – an absolute rare finding. This post card – posted at September 5th 1918 – was drawn by Pablo Picasso, signed and send to his friend Guillaume Apollinaire, who is one of the most important French poets. Postcards and coins will be auctioned on Saturday, June 20th, while with Wednesday June 24th a separate day is devoted to banknotes.
The Coins and Medals section offers a wide range from ancient to modern time. The absolute top piece is the seal of the Elector Albrecht III (Achilles), 1414 – 1486, dated 1470 with an estimate of 250.000 euros.
Since the beginning of this year, the auction house Gärtner offers a wide range of rare and special international paper money. Waiting for the collectors are special highlights such as bank notes of the extremely rare edition of the State Treasury for Mongola from 1924 as well as Specimen from various countries such as the very popular and colorful 1,000 Angolares note from Angola in 1944, of which only very few can be found on the market.
