57th AUCTION at 16. October - 20 October 2023

The IBRA 2023 in Essen was also an extremely successful event for our auction house. In countless discussions, existing contacts were intensified, new ones made and important consignments acquired.

The idea of publishing a catalog of rarities for this auction, i.e. presenting the ”creme de la creme8 in an appropriate setting, came up in Essen and we are happy to follow this idea. A highlight of this auction - the four units of the One Penny Black - could already be presented at the IBRA. Other remarkable pieces are e.g. the early foreign letters from old Germany (including two Baden letters to Peru and Venezuela or a letter from Hamburg to Chile in 1864), an absolutely unique and recently discovered 1.80 lire franking on a letter from Parma to Vienna in 1859, rarest test stamp booklets of the Federal Republic of Germany and the 1st part of the collection "Private Post German Reich" by Horst Müller. In addition, there are many special pieces that hardly anyone knows. Or have you ever seen the Clipperton Island stamps?
In any case, the entire auction team hopes you enjoy looking through our 5 catalogs (plus "Rarities") with more than 10,000 lots.

We have already received a number of top-class consignments for the upcoming auctions (February 12-16, 2024), and we would also like to present a consignment from you.
