Bernd,

Now that's a beauty of a collection that Opa started, something you don't see every day and way out of the ordinary. Really an outstanding example of the imperial graphic-arts!

The Fliegerdank example is an especially outstanding design and I'm sure it's got to be a rare item.

Hope you'll get to work on this collection and let us see your further progress. Smile

Bill

Bernd,

Thanks for the tip, that's a brilliant thread!

I urge anyone who might read this to take a look at something definitely out-of-the-ordinary.
