Lot AWA S 69 & Lot AWA S 69 verso
• Front Image: "Lot AWA S 66 front.jpg" (Incorrectly labeled in sequence, this corresponds to the Australian cover showing King George VI).
• Verso Image: "Lot AWA S 69 verso.jpg"
• Description: A commercial-sized envelope from Australia addressed to Dr. Michael Schneider in Adelaide. It features a single $3\frac{1}{2}\text{d}$ blue King George VI definitive stamp tied by a PO[ST OFFICE] - STH AUSTRALIA circular date stamp (24 March).
• Key Features: The envelope bears a printed paper sealing strip at the top edge reading "THE MYER EMPORIUM (S.A.) LTD." along with a manuscript magenta notation "Opened in error by".
• Evaluation: While the "Opened in Error" tape from a famous Australian department store (Myer Emporium) adds an interesting piece of social and commercial history, the underlying philatelic item is a very common era-correct domestic rate cover.
2. Lot AWA S 67 & Lot AWA S 67 verso
• Front Image: "Lot AWA S 67 front.jpg"
• Verso Image: "Lot AWA S 67 verso.jpg"
• Description: A standard airmail cover from Léopoldville, Belgian Congo to Schaerbeek (Brussels), Belgium.
• Key Features: Franked with three stamps: a 1.25 Fr brown definitive depicting an indigenous chief, flanked by a 50c orange and a 1 Fr slate-blue early airmail definitive (featuring an airfield and biplane). They are cleanly tied by three LÉOPOLDVILLE 1 / POSTES circular date stamps dated 15 September 1932. The front has a simple boxed black AVION cachet. The reverse shows a manuscript return address from the "Secrétariat Provincial, Léopoldville Ouest".
• Evaluation: A classic, clean 1930s airmail routing from the Belgian Congo to Europe. The condition is excellent and unblemished, but this particular combination of definitive stamps represents a standard commercial airmail rate that survives in relatively high volume.
3. Lot AWA S 66 & Lot AWA S 66 verso
• Front Image: "Lot AWA S 66 front.jpg"
• Verso Image: "Lot AWA S 66 verso.jpg"
• Description: An airmail cover sent from the Italian East Africa region during the colonial period, addressed to Freiburg, Germany.
• Key Features: The front features an artistic watermark/tint of a Caproni-style tri-motor airplane under the text. It is franked with a mixed-colony combination of Italian colonial stamps: a 25c pink/red Italian Somaliland definitive, alongside two Eritrea definitives (a 5c black pictorial showing swordfish/sharks on a drying rack and a 5 L. pink pictorial). All three stamps are tied by bold GIGGIGA * HARAR circular date stamps dated 12.12.38. The reverse has a neat ASMARA ERITREA / POSTA AEREA transit mark from the following day (13.12.38).
• Evaluation: This is an excellent example of inter-colony postal usage during the brief period of Africa Orientale Italiana (AOI). Postmarks from Giggiga (Jijiga) are highly collectible. The cover is un-registered, keeping it a bit more common than certified mail, but the combination of Eritrea and Somaliland stamps used together from an Ethiopian-territory office makes it highly desirable to Italian area collectors.
4. Lot AWA S 68 & Lot AWA S 68 verso
• Front Image: "Lot AWA S 68 front.jpg"
• Verso Image: "Lot AWA S 68 verso.jpg"
• Description: A registered airmail cover from the same correspondence network as the previous item, sent from Italian East Africa to Käthe Ringwald in Freiburg, Germany.
• Key Features: This cover features an official, typed GIGGIGA / R / 3235 registration label affixed to the top left corner. It is franked with a 75c pink definitive stamp and a vertical strip of three 2 L. black pictorial stamps from Eritrea showing elephants. All stamps are tied by GIGGIGA * HARAR circular date stamps dated 24.3.38. The reverse shows a clear, crisp FREIBURG (BREISGAU) 1 arrival mark dated 31.3.38.
• Evaluation: Registered covers from smaller offices in the AOI command a notable premium over non-registered variants. The usage of a complete vertical strip of three of the 2 Lira elephant stamp alongside the registration paper label from Giggiga makes this an exceptional piece of East African colonial postal history.
5. Lot AWA S 70 & Lot AWA S 70 verso
• Front Image: "Lot AWA S 70 front.jpg"
• Verso Image: "Lot AWA S 70 verso.jpg"
• Description: A 19th-century classic transatlantic cover sent from Great Britain to Hamburg, Germany, marked "Via Ostende".
• Key Features: It is franked with a single Great Britain 2\frac{1}{2}\text{d}$ blue Line-Engraved plate stamp (Plate 22 or 23, Lettered 'R-S') tied securely by a crisp LIVERPOOL / 11 / FE 82 "bucket" style duplex cancellation. The reverse features a blue oval commercial handstamp from the famous merchant firm "BLESSIG, BRAUN & CO. / LIVERPOOL" and a crisp HAMBURG arrival postmark dated 5/2 82.
• Evaluation: Classic 19th-century postal history is strongly driven by condition and clear, historical provenance. This cover is exceptionally clean, possesses a perfectly struck duplex cancellation, clear transit/arrival marks, and pristine merchant tracking provenance from an influential Liverpool firm. The high state of preservation for an 1882 folded cover drives its premium status.
