Antwort auf: Mischfrankaturen der Zeppelinpost

Dear friends of the Zeppelin Mischfrankaturen,
A third piece that I can share with you is probably quite rare but also a clear fabrication. It has been produced for his own collection (or that of his wife) by Balloningeneur Ludwig Knorr, the author I think of many a card from the LZ127 to his own family. This one is from the SAF. On one side we find 2 times 2RM with real Bordstempel 22nd May (the day when they crossed the Equator, and Lady Hay Drummond-Hay wrote her cards), for the Friedrichshafen – Lakehurst leg, cancelled in Recife 23/5, on the other side the $1,30 plus unnecessary 5c, for the second leg, cancelled at Lakehurst 2/6. It has the one way American cachet, while it should have been the one with the complete triangle, of course. Not a very pretty card, and a complete fabrication by a crew member, but I still like it.
