Usage

Image

French poster for the Hamburg-America Line.

The Zeppelin issue was issued solely for use on the Graf Zeppelin. The high cost of the postage was to pay for the increased expense of carrying mail via the Zeppelin. The $2.30 stamp was for letters making the journey both ways.

This stamp was issued during the great depression and as a result they were not popular due to their high cost when money was tight.
