📌 What these stamps represent
- These stamps were issued specifically as airmail (Zeppelin/Airship) postage stamps for mail carried by the Hindenburg to international destinations such as North America in 1936.
- They are valued by collectors of aviation and zeppelin mail because they were used on covers sent onboard the Hindenburg flights, often bearing special cachets or flight postmarks from the airship’s postal office.
- Denominations (50 Pf and 75 Pf) are typical for airmail rates on transatlantic zeppelin routes.
📬 Usage
- These stamps are not part of the regular definitive series; they were issued as special airmail issues tied to airship flights.
- Cancelled examples on cover with appropriate Hindenburg flight postmarks (e.g., Mit Luftschiff LZ 129 befördert) are popular and historically interesting items in philately.
