Here is my complete set of Zeppelin's. I don't really like how the page looks so I might make a new page for them when I get more time.  |

Erika got a letter! Zeppelin cover from Brooklyn/Flatbush Station on the Graf Zeppelin's maiden trans-Atlantic, the return flight from Lakehurst to Friedrichshafen, then probably by train, with at least one transfer to Pforzheim.
I love all the San Franciscos. Somebody was having fun. The cover has a brutal fold, looks to have has a rough time of it, probably changed hands a few times.
Was this the first commercial Zeppelin flight, or return flight? Where did it rank in trans-Atlantic airmail history?

Here 's my new Zeppelin, rather more modest; another New York (Bronx)-Pforzheim, this time from the Graf Zeppelin's world cruise in 1929. Interesting to see how Zeppelin rates bounced while they were figuring all this out. A year before, a one-way letter was USD 1.05. Here Carl paid 1.36, a six cent over-payment? The stamp selection shows somebody amusing.

The most beautiful Zeppelins, (just my opinion) were created by CORRADO MEZZANA for Tripolitania For me the epitome of good design. (Not Mine)  Kiddle's Zeppelins  A C Roessler's Zeppelins (Knocked down at $160 2015)  |

I found the greek ones, from 1933, they are quiet nice and not too costly. (Yvert number PA 5 , PA 6 and PA 7)  |

I have also a couple of Zeppelin from Touva, supposed to have been emitted in 1936 but I was never sure if they were real stamps or just some fantasy made to raise money on behalf of the stamp collectors.  |
