Hamburg Amerika Line ' S ALBERT BALLIN Of 1923 - Starboard Propeller In Drydock
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:3208243 |
Hello and welcome to our latest listings, featuring nearly 100 lots on German ocean liners (PART 1), with this particular group showcasing the ships of the Hamburg Amerika Line.
PLEASE NOTE: We've begun the slow process of scanning the back of each item but some are still undone. Should there be an item that you're interested in and it doesn't have a scan, please let us know and we'll do our best to add it.
There are some newly-added modifications to overseas sh...ipping costs as well as some countries which will now require Registered Mail or a similar tracking service (see "Shipping Information" below).
And now let's begin with "Germany Afloat" PART 1 (featuring the Hamburg Amerika Line)....
A most impressive view on a sepia-toned, vertical-format postcard of the Hamburg Amerika Line's four-masted ALBERT BALLIN of 1923 in drydock, with her starboard propeller in view. She would be renamed HANSA by the Nazis in 1935 as they would not tolerate such a prominent liner to be named after a Jew (Albert Ballin was the brilliant chairman of the Hapag before World War One.) Sunk by a mine in 1945.
PLEASE NOTE: We are listing all four ships of this class (and also the HANSA of 1935, which was the former ALBERT BALLIN.)
This lovely postcard is in excellent condition (please see scans).
TERMS OF PAYMENT & SHIPPING INFORMATION:
Paypal is the only method of payment accepted.
For U.S. customers: FREE SHIPPING. Overseas (and Canada) up to 3 cards, $2.50. Should your purchase be larger, we are always happy to combine lots to save you money.
We ship on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday only.
Due to a recent rash of claims of lost parcels from overseas destinations (some being rather dubious!), from now on we will advise when sending your invoice if your parcel will require Registered Mail (or a similar tracking service). Should you have any questions, please contact us BEFORE bidding. We sincerely regret this new policy but have little choice in the face of these false claims.
If you should win more than one item, please wait for us to send you an invoice as eBay's automatic invoice may provide you with an incorrect and/or excessive shipping quote. We will contact you within 2 hours of the auction's conclusion. Please note that refunds are not issued unless the item is grossly misrepresented. However, we all make mistakes so we will strive to correct any issues that may arise. Should there be any questions about an item or description, please don't hesitate to contact us.
