Dr. Reinhard Fischer 189th Auction
November 24th - 26th, 2022
Philaty:
The auction house Dr. Reinhard Fischer in Bonn will hold its 189th auction from November 24 to 26. Our 189th auction includes almost 7,000 lots with a large variety of rarities and highlights in the area of philately as well as an interesting offer of almost 1,800 lots in the area of numismatics.
In a special section the first part of the “Dr. Hans Joachim Brinkmann” collection is offered. Over the span of decades , the successful entrepreneur from Detmold has assembled a very impressive collection. The heart of the collection is a general collection Germany that includes a number of special items. The collection was not built depending on want lists but rather because of the appeal of the items. Aside from rare issued stamps, it includes beautiful and in part rare letters, special cancellations and varieties. Apart from German philately, Dr. Brinkmann also collected items from Liechtenstein, Austria, Switzerland and in particular the classical/semiclassical stamps of the United States. The offer includes a One kreuzer black (“Bayern Einser”) in used very fine condition (MiNo. 1Ia, starting price €1,500.-) as well as rarities from the colonies such as the Marshall Islands MiNo. 1Ib in the rare shade with a genuine cancellation in flawless condition (starting price €2,000.-) and sought-after occupation issues such as the Montenegro MiNo. 10/19 in MNH ** condition (€3,500.‑). Another highlight is the United States section with numerous sought-after items in fine resp. very fine condition (and frequently with certificates) such as a $5 Marshall (MiNo. 151) in perfect MNH ** condition (starting price €1,500.-). Since Dr. Brinkmann never exhibited his collection and did not have time to be active in associations due to his commitment to the family business, collectors will find numerous items in his collection that “disappeared” from the market decades ago.
Aside from the sought-after standard issues, the main catalog comprises a number of special items.
The Old German States are well represented, including four One kreuzer black (“Bayern Einser”). The equally popular classic of the Old German States philately, the Sachsen 3 Pfennige red (“Sachsen Dreier”) is also represented with one used copy in perfect condition with brilliant colors (as confirmed by the certificate), plate 1a (€4,200.-). Particularly noteworthy is a spectacular new discovery from a collector’s estate: only about 40 copies of the 50 pfennig “Deutsche Nothilfe” charity stamp from 1926 with the variety “watermark sideways” (MiNo. 401Y) in used condition are known. Only few of them are in perfect condition. The newly expertized copy that is offered for the first time is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful copies known (€2,000.-). Aside from numerous sought-after values of the colonial philately in MNH ** condition as well as rare covers and cancellations, the MiNo. 42y German post offices in Turkey is especially noteworthy. This stamp in perfect used condition that is lacking in most collections (starting price €1,500.-) will close a gap in the collection of the lucky buyer.
There is an impressive offer of field post stamps from the “Rhodes” collection that Dr. Fischer personally accepted on the island of the same name. Among the highlights of the collections is a copy of the Kuban small parcel stamp (“Kuban-Päckchenmarke”; rare type II) on the address label of a piece of cardboard packaging. The copy with the MiNo. 14II is offered at a starting price of €6,000.-. The post-war philately also includes a number of rare lots with highlights such as the “Posthorn set” of the FRG (MiNo. 123/38) in horizontal pairs (starting price €1,800.-) and blocks of four (starting price €4,000.-), each in MNH ** condition. The area of China includes sought-after issues such as the “dramatic arts miniature sheet” (“Schauspielblock”; MiNo. Bl. 8) with first day special cancellation (starting price 3,000.-) and the se-tenant MiNo. 1020/24 in an unfolded stripe of five with the left sheet margin in MNH ** very fine condition (starting price €3,500.-).
Almost all of the nearly 700 lots are from collectors. Countless estates are offered in their original untouched condition without any item selected previously. There is something for everyone, from a comprehensive German Colonies general collection on self-designed sheets in 5 albums (€6,000.-) to two impressive Switzerland collections (starting prices €6,000.- and €5,000.-, respectively) and a United States collection from the same collector (starting price €7,000.-) to a comprehensive stock of mission kiloware (350 kg in total!) divided into six lots.
