OLD GERMAN STATES / GERMAN EMPIRE: A wonderful sigillographic collection in two booklets, comprising wax seals and embossed document seals in various colours and from various offices, arranged in categories such as military seals, police collections and tax offices, but also the "Royal Literary Bureau Berlin", the "Assessment Commission of the Urban District of Bonn", the "Rhenish Provincial Asylum in Bonn", the "Ministry for Alsace-Lorraine", the "Princely Schaumburg-Lippe Ministry" and the "Imperial Admiralty", including the "Correspondence Seal of His Royal Highness Prince Friedrich Leopold of Prussia". One booklet is preceded by several pages of explanations and technical and architectural sketches. The collection was probably compiled by a collector from Bornheim; the handwritten notes began on 17.01.1917. Approximately 510 specimens in total, mostly retaining strong colours, some with adhesive stains and tears, but overall highly desirable for their variety and preservation. The selection of images is illustrative only; please inspect in person!
