Catalog:
45. Christoph Gärtner Auction - 15. October 2019 - Single lots Overseas & Europe

1851, EARLY USAGE 10c. brown horiz. pair, fresh colour, touched to full margins, on lettersheet dated 3 Jan 1851, clearly oblit. by numeral "158" and red c.d.s. "ECAUSSINES 4 JANV 1851" alongside, addressed to Ostende with transit and arrival mark 4.1.51 on reverse; pair was loosened and replaced by hinge. All catalogues quote the year 1851 as the year of issue, COB explicitely names february. This cover gives substantial support to the assumption that the unframed watermark issue was possibly already put to sale in late 1850; at least a very early if not the earliest known usage of this issue!

Christoph Gärtner made his hobby into his profession. He started in 1984 and within two decades the Gärtner GmbH developed into a world leading mail order house for postal stationery and became a specialist for thematics and postal history.
In april 2005 the idea to build a place where collectors, customers and investors from all over the world could meet, was realized.
Since that time both, the Mail Order House and Auction House Gärtner, have been united on 2.700 m2 in the easy accessible building owned by Christoph Gärtner.
Generous viewing and storage rooms, a private auction hall, enough parking space and an underground car park are available.
