I came here for stamps, and I also get to see a mini documentary along with it. Every stamp has a story to tell, as a person born before the internet, stamps made me so curious about what was going on in other countries. Thanks for these videos
Same! before the internet my stamp collection made me curious about world. It is because of the internet that I got excited again about my collection and able to learn about the stamps and covers. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching :D
I have a bunch of stamps for sale a huge stamp collection in and also have postcards from my great-great-grandmothershe was an artist and people sent her postcards from all over the world to give her ideas my name is Jimmy Johnson
An eye opening episode about zeppelin stamps Thanks I especially liked the idea getting first hand knowledge about Hindenburg disaster by going there ,at the site.
I am a long time collector of US stamps. There are four airmail stamps I am missing and they're the set of 3 Zeppelin stamps you show and a slightly later Zeppelin stamp that is a bit cheaper. Also, off topic a bit, anyone who is into stamp collecting should consider trying to find a series of novels and short stories by a writer whose name is Laurence Block. His main character is a gentleman hit man by the name of Keller. There are many interesting references to stamp collecting which really adds to the books - in my opinion. Thanks again for the fascinating series!
Thank you, that means a lot :) And thank you for watching and commenting, all interaction with this channel helps to increase it's visibility on the platform :)
This video has been re-uploaded to address some editing issues. Apologies if your comment is no longer available, please comment below and thanks for watching - Graham
Great video and wonderful topic. Thanks a lot! I'm a collector from Germany specializing in German colonies (+ German Reich). So this was particularly interesting for me.
@@Vidiosifier So glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I have gained a tremendous appreciation for this time period and it's stamps as a result of doing this episode. There is so much to explore when looking at German Reich and German Colony stamps, I look forward to learning more from them as I am sure I will come across more in my philatelic adventures. Thank you for watching :D
Thanks for such informational video. For me, philately is the best way to learn about history and the things happened in the past that slowly forgotten by the people. It shows us that history is not isolated from us, but interconnected with everyone of us, in the form of stamps, which is/was available for everyone. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! You are so right, philately is the best way to learn about history that isn’t taught or written in school textbooks, it was shared with us all on little stamps that anyone could hold and learn from.. it really is a great hobby. So glad you found the channel and enjoy the videos, thanks for watching!! 🙂
I enjoy all your philatelic videos immensely! They're very well produced and very informative. Excellent presentation too. Great B-roll in this show about my favorite stamps: the Zeppelin issues of the 1930s.
Another excellent video! I really love how you can make a very interesting short documentary out a stamp. That first cover you showed is amazing! The different and appropriate stamps and postmarks makes it a perfect cover to collect.
How timely to see this. I just got a first day North American flight cover. Lakehurst to Frankfurt aboard LZ-129. You explained a lot but I’m still a little curious about my cover. I really treasure it though. Thanks for the great info. Your narration aboard the flight was a great touch. I’m probably going to have to watch this one more time. Thanks for the posting!
I used to collect US stamps and the reason I stopped is because the cost of postage starting going up. From 5 cents back in early sixties to the current price of 55 cents. I stopped back in early 90s. I was getting the yearly stamp sets with all the stamps issued for that year. Along with my baseball and football cards which I hear aren't worth as much now stamps are doing the same. I suppose the internet and other ways of electronic communication is a big factor.
This is such a beautiful cover!! It is amazing that it is a first flight cover with the commemorative stamps on it too. I love the classic red and blue blocks along the frame of the cover - so classic. I notice that the top right corner is missing some blocks, I assume because stamps go there? It is so cool that they let you handle the postal stationary at the hanger, that must have been such a special experience!!
Ok I got booted off before posting..but great posting, I appreciate because I recently obtained a 1936 German Zeppelin “Hindenburg” LZ-129 first flight cover that I’m really attached to and no more so with this timely presentation. I’m going to watch it once again I’m sure. Thank you for posting as always
Such a fascinating topic, and to think that these giant airships roamed the sky at one point. I have a couple of stamps with zeppelins on them, but I would love to build out a topical collection with them.
Fantastic channel. Thank you for your great work! I binged watched every episode, subscribed, and hit the bell. I even hit like on everyone of them. I guess I collect your videos now. I don't need tweezers for this collection. Lol
Thank you Todd! I appreciate every view and like that I can get, so thank you for watching. Glad that you like the channel, and hopefully I will be adding a few more videos to your collection soon :)
Thank you for another informative stamp video. You put a lot of work into these videos which makes them most interesting, particularly with the original footages, etc. I own one card which was carried on the Graf Zeppelin. It bears the round marking which identifies it as having flown on the Graf Zeppelin. The postmark reads “Luftschiff Graf Zeppelin Aug. 16, 1929 and is marked that it was received in Los Angeles Aug. 26, 1929. It is addressed to a manufacturer of scientific instruments in Philadelphia, Pa. This cover bears 2 copies of Germany Scott No. 381, and 1 copy each of Germany Scott Nos. C31, C32 and C36. C36 is one of the stamps shown in this video.
Heh Graham, great video as always. Ever since I saw the list of episodes for season 3, I was looking forward to this one. It is a fascinating topic and it is of special interest to me because I live in Ravensburg, Germany, right next to Friedrichshafen - one of the main zeppelin airports (you can see it written on the $1.30 brown Graf Zeppelin stamp as the starting point in Germany). Friedrichshafen today features a Zeppelin Museum full of artifacts (much like the one in Lakehurst that you show in your video) but also features a partial reconstruction of the passenger part of the Hindenburg (including the smoking room and a few sleeping cabins). In the restaurant, you can book it for a dinner like those that were actually served (they have the menus) for birthdays or other events and get served by waiters in the exact uniforms - very cool. The films they have there show people in a cabin much like the one you used in your video (where was that by the way?) watching the Manhattan skyline pass by while they have their coffee. It must have been amazing!
Oh now that is really cool! I'd love to visit this museum, I find this whole zeppelin era beyond fascinating, I can't stop learning about it. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching the videos (in order to!!). That set I used for the Zeppelin restaurant scene was built for this video, you can see a picture of it here: instagram.com/p/BtEDEyOhrVB/?
Great vid Graham and congratulations on the set work! I've always been swept up in the nostalgia and tragedy of the Hindenburg. There are only three known covers to Australia known to have flown on the Hindenburg, and they're very collectable. I'm planning a post for a little later in the year that I think you'll enjoy...
Thank you Punk! It is fascinating to hear through twitter and elsewhere of known Hindenburg covers that were mailed to or from other countries outside USA/Germany, I have seen some interesting ones since posting the video. Oh and I always enjoy your posts, looking forward to it :D
Thank you for making such an informative and interesting video about the zeppelin stamps. I finally got my hands on a complete set of the 3 famous zeppelin stamps C13, C14, C15 well placed on covers.
Wow Tim, congratulations on your Zeppelin stamps. Having them on covers (at least for me) is more exciting then mint condition unused. Thank you for watching, glad you liked the video. :D
Count Von Zeppelin had an interest at an earlier time that you stated in the video. It turns out that he met with Mr Lowe who was the creator of the Federal Balloon Service used in the US Civil War. in 1862. At the time those Balloons were used for observations. But Zeppelin suggested other war applications other than observation. A very observant person and he consulted with some of the German speaking soldiers that help run the balloons on technical details..
Hello Harper! I have heard that Mrs. Crum is one of the coolest teachers out there, it must be true since she shows my videos during class ;) Please give her a high five for me! =D
The sticker you are referring to on the stamp In the sun Is a Greek symbol Of Macedonia Alexandria Great Wall of China Taklamakan desert . I like airships
I was stationed in NAS Lakehurst and wanted to mention the control tower had an aerial photograph that you could depict the sky and station with dozens of blimps. I don't have any zep postage. Too bad.
I have a August 1, 1936 Hindenburg cover with eight German Olympic stamps and a 100 Luftpost stamp. It also has a "Luftsciff Hindenburg Olympiafahrt 1936" and Olympic flag cancelation on the cover.
That is too cool. I am assuming that the cover was on the Airship while it was making its flight for the opening ceremony. You are in possession of a fascinating piece of history.
@@ExploringStamps Yes, it was. I wish I could show you a picture of it. I collect stamps and numerous other items especially military uniform buttons. Basically, I collect history. I have Roman items from the UK. A silver hammered penny of Edward I. German buttons dug in Stalingrad. US and British military buttons dating to the American Revolution. Newspapers of Pearl Harbor and D-Day to the end of WWII. And so on. Stamps and covers are extension of my "collecting history". BTW: You have a very interesting way of presenting stamp collecting. Please keep this going! I enjoyed your segment on the "penny black". I don't own the penny black just yet. I do have the one penny red on an 1852 cover from Liverpool. Anyway, thanks for what you're doing.
Somehow i've always had interest in long-forgotten catastrophes. Interesting video, thanks! :) Lots of facts and it was interesting to see old Zeppelin stamps (i've seen only those from Africa countries/Vietnam so far).
You showed a lot of German content, OK Germany was very active till 1939, even after the Hindenburg disaster. I read a lot of books and stamps / Zeppelin post was the reeason why it was possible to do this. The passengers paid a lot for travelling and as you stated it was very luxury in the zeppelins, they didn´t cover the cost. I have a book from 1938 titled Peter Strasser, der Führer der Luftschiffe (leader of the zeppelins) and you can read the early development of the Zeppelins (with many desasters in the early stage) including some remarks from Mr. Zeppelin in Friedrichshafen. Also the Zeppelins in world war 1 bombing Belgian, French and British cities. In fact, the Zeppelins were only good weapons in 1914/15, afterwards it was quite hopeless and Germany lost most of the Zeppelins. Mr. Strasser didn´t survie the war as well in 1918 attacking London. No one survived this attack. So Zeppelins were only for showing (because they were big) prestige. I can remember that the company never earned a dollar. I like the three US stamps and I own with the brown 1.30 $ on a cover. Not in perfect condition, but the stamp is in good condition.May be sometimes in the future I try to buy a mint set, because this is a really pretty set. You wrote, that the 50 Pfennige and 75 Pfennige are in a poor condition on the letter. Because of the gum they are in average condition, because you still have the gum on the stamp when they are on the letter. So it´s average condition, because you have many letters with that condition, even poorer. I alos like the old Russian Zeppelin stamps, I have most of them. But not on a cover (they are very expensive and seldom), but as cancelled stamps. They are really pretty. Overall Zeppelin stamps and covers are still very expensive. But if you look in Germany on auctions, there are many people who want to sell them. It seems that the interest is declining, but the prices are still high. I think this will change the next five years, there is too much material on the market and not so many people who want to pay the high prices. By the way: The red cancellation with the zeppelin and the plane you can see the Do X plane. No one of them exists today, they were all destroyed in WW2. In Germany there were collectors looking for covers especially for the Do X. Also a quite interesting possibility, but these covers are all rare.
Great videos from a big collector in many years i only want to put in Finland And Iceland had zeppelin-stamps too the cancelled ones are pretty rare and expensive ones. Keep on with your videos
@@ExploringStamps look at stampworld there you have a catalouge over stamps from all countries inkl. Special stamps. I have one zeppelin-stamp from iceland uncancelled from 1931
unrelated but wondered if you have done/could do a video on stamps from Grenada, St Vincent and the Grenadines, ive been attempting to sort my collection out and in doing so realized that theyre some of my favourite ones, i like the designs they do.
I have done an episode on Grenada: th-cam.com/video/Lm6ZyOSGYKs/w-d-xo.html ... and there are more videos in the future coming with other Caribbean islands.
Interesting fact about the company, which is famous for creation Zeppelin related philatilistic item. The company (Hermann E. Sieger) is located in Lorch/Württemberg (due to this is it very possible, that your cover is one of these Zeppelin items) and was involved in a scandel with American astronauts, who take philatilistic items with them to space. They got payed for this and - as I know - were punished by the NASA for doing it.
The eagle is also a symbol of Ancient Macedonian Alexander the Great Wall of China fortress In the desert of taklamakan Also a symbol of Zeus Je meaning living Zeus
It is crazy, there is a 1975 movie about the Hindenburg, and the characters spent a lot of time in the smoking room, it gives you an idea what it was like... there was one electric lighter that everyone had to share
I like your video I have some old stands but have no idea how to find out if they're worth anything is there any way that you or someone else could tell me what they might worth thank you
Hello Donald, look for dealers and philatelic societies in your country. They can help to evaluate your collection or point you in the right direction. If you havent already seen it, watch my video on inheriting a stamp collection th-cam.com/video/44LJFCRntcE/w-d-xo.html
Hello Vikram, those sheets are clear stock pages. That particular brand that I am using in season 3 is Vario stock pages, they are made by Lighthouse. :) I hope this helps.

Envious of your Graf Zepps. I really enjoy watching your videos. And luckily for me still have a few older ones to tide me over between new episodes.
Thank you Nick! Glad that you like them, working on more as I type this... thanks for watching :)
So many information I got from a video. Great video. Thank you so much.
You are very welcome, thank you for watching :)
I was stationed in NAS Lakehurst and wanted to mention the control tower had an aerial photograph that you could depict the sky and station with dozens of blimps. I don't have any zep postage. Too bad.

Oh this topic is very interesting. I hope i can find these Zeppelin stamps soon. So hard to find them in Vietnam...
