Bavarian (Bayern) Philatelic Collection in specialized Album
This item is a page from a vintage, specialized philatelic album dedicated to the postal history of Bavaria (Bayern), Germany. The page features pre-printed frames and informative text in German, English, and French, categorizing issues by date ranges such as 1867-68, 1870-1911, and 1914-1920. The collection includes several notable postage stamps: an early 'Franco' numeral issue in black, various heraldic crest designs featuring the Bavarian coat of arms in colors like green, red, and blue, and later 20th-century issues depicting Prince Regent Luitpold and King Ludwig III. Structurally, the stamps appear to be mounted via hinges or resting in mounts within a cream-colored paper album. The alignment shows a mix of perforated and potentially imperforate edges. Signs of age include mild toning or yellowing of the album page and typical cancellation marks on several stamps, indicating they were postally used. The page shows sophisticated printing with technical details about the currency (Mark and Pfennig) and the regional demographics of the time. The overall condition appears fair to good for a mid-20th-century collector's album, with some minor creasing near the spine and varying levels of centering on the individual stamps themselves.
