Rare 1938 Hutter & Schrantz A-G Industrial Invoice
An exceptional and highly decorative industrial invoice dated June 10, 1938, issued by the prestigious Austrian firm Hutter & Schrantz A-G in Vienna. This document represents a fascinating "time capsule" of Central European industrial power and Mediterranean trade during the volatile months following the Austrian Anschluss and just prior to the outbreak of WWII.
Founded in 1824, Hutter & Schrantz was a dominant industrial conglomerate in the Austro-Hungarian sphere. The letterhead features a magnificent, highly detailed lithographic multi-view of seven different factories across the former empire, including Vienna, Budapest, and Laibach (Ljubljana). It serves as a visual testament to the industrial architecture of the era.
Transaction Details:
-Recipient: Issued to the Hellenic Paper Mill based at Korai 1, Athens, Greece.
-Merchandise: High-precision industrial "Nassfilze" (wet felts) and "Unterfilze" used in paper manufacturing, vital for Greece’s early industrialization.
-Financials: The total sum is recorded in 5,727.06 Swiss Francs, a common "hard currency" for international settlements during the era of exchange controls.
-Logistics: Mentions transport via Trieste and the vessel "Jadranska", highlighting the historical Adriatic-Mediterranean trade route.
A rare archival piece showing the transition period of 1938; it bears the Austrian state eagle stamps while the bureaucracy was shifting under the new German administration.
Excellent vintage condition. The paper remains crisp with original filing holes. Minor "ghosting" of text from decades of storage adds to its authentic archival character.
Strong custom made packing, registered shipping.
