Switzerland Postal Stationery Collection Feldpost Cards Postal History
An attractive and specialized collection of Swiss postal stationery and postal history, with material spanning the classic period into the 20th century. The collection includes both mint and genuinely postally used stationery, giving it considerably more depth than a basic unused postal-card collection.
The collection contains a broad range of Swiss postal cards, envelopes and related postal stationery in different denominations, designs and formats. Early material includes classic postal stationery bearing Swiss indicia, while later sections expand into commemorative, military, exhibition and pictorial issues.
Among the material represented are:
- Classic Swiss postal cards and envelopes
- Mint and postally used postal stationery
- Different denominations, indicia and stationery formats
- Uprated postal cards with additional adhesive postage
- Domestic and international usages
- Feldpost / military postal stationery
- Military and troop postal cards
- Red Cross and wartime-related stationery
- Philatelic congress and exhibition-related postal cards
- Commemorative and anniversary stationery
- Pictorial and illustrated postal cards
- Examples showing a variety of Swiss town and transit postmarks
- Material useful for postal-rate and postal-history study
One of the strengths of the collection is the combination of postal stationery and actual postal usage. Numerous cards have been genuinely used through the mails and show a variety of postmarks, destinations, rates and additional frankings. These provide interest not only to the postal stationery collector, but also to collectors of Swiss postal history.
The military and Feldpost material is another particularly interesting area, with troop and field-post stationery represented alongside wartime and Red Cross-related pieces. The collection also includes commemorative and event-related material, including philatelic and historical subjects.
Several pieces are illustrated or pictorial, adding visual interest to the more traditional postal stationery issues. The collection therefore offers a good cross-section of Swiss postal stationery development rather than concentrating on only one period or format.
According to the owner's inventory, the collection has an approximate catalog value of $600. The catalog value is provided for reference only and has not been independently verified.
Overall condition is very attractive for material of this age. Some of the earlier pieces show normal age-related toning and handling, particularly among the genuinely used postal-history items, but the collection is generally clean and well preserved. As with any collection of this size and age, there may be an occasional hidden fault, though none of significance were noted. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they show the actual collection being offered.
A very interesting holding for the Switzerland specialist, European postal stationery collector, military postal-history collector or advanced worldwide collector. The combination of mint stationery, postally used cards, Feldpost material, commemorative issues and postal-history usages provides considerably more variety than a basic stationery collection.
The collection pictured is the actual collection being offered. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
