Danziger Wappenwerk

Album information :

Issued by : Kaffee Hag, Danzig Date of issue : 1930 Number of stamps/cards (official) : 90 Image variants : No different images, but two editions of the album (identical, except for printer's mark)

Introduction

The album was issued in 1930 by Kaffee Hag, Danzig.
Author Dr. Hubertus Schwarz
Dr. Schwartz was senator for the city council of Danzig and was mentioned as author and designer. However, there are reasons to suspect that F. W. Burau is the real designer of the images.

The book contains 125 arms, and besides the arms of the city and towns, it also contains images of personal arms, Hausmarken (house-marks, or logos), the seals of the city of Danzig and flags. As the territory of Danzig was very small, these additions were necessary for a complete album. Several later additions were planned, and some space was left for these in the album, but these were never issued.

The arms were printed in 7 sheets of 18 stamps each. The last sheet contained also an advertising stamp for the company.

In the Shop we offer this complete album on CD together with the album for Poland.
