Zeppelin Company Photo Card with a Souvenir Mark
This is not a Zeppelin flown item. It is a Zeppelin Company Photo Card with a Souvenir Mark that was sold to visitors. I have added it to my collection because it has a Zeppelin Connection, and is sent to India. There is no reference to such a mark in the Michel Catalogue (2003), but I found a very similar Souvenir Mark in the Frost Catalogue (2005). The one listed by Frost is SM 1.
The post card has been cancelled with a FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, 1.9.36 mark and has a delivery mark LILUAH, DELY, 17 SEP. 36, 3 PM. It also bears the oval red cachet ZUR ERINNERUNG, AN DIE BESLCHTLGUNG, DES LUFTSCHIFFEN, IN FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, which also bears the line drawing of the Zeppelin airship.
