Item Description

1937 Germany Poster Stamp Deutsche Lufthansa MNH. This Is A Minimalist, High-Style Deutsche Lufthansa Poster Stamp Or Luggage Label, Most Likely From The Late 1930s Or Early 1940s, Showcasing One Of The Earliest Versions Of The Airline’s Iconic Flying Crane Logo. The Design Features A Blue Line Illustration Of A Stylized Crane In Flight Over A Rising Or Setting Sun, With Streamlined Curves Suggesting Motion And Sky. The Crane Is A Longtime Emblem Of Lufthansa, Originally Designed By Otto Firle In 1918 For Deutsche Luft-Reederei (DLR) and later adopted by Lufthansa. The layout is clean and striking, printed in metallic gold foil with cobalt blue ink, conveying a sense of elegance and speed. Curved wave-like marks at the bottom right hint at air currents or travel lines, and the airline name curves diagonally upward in sync with the crane’s direction—suggesting upward mobility and ambition. A small symbol in the upper right corner (which resembles a stylized lightning bolt or printer’s mark) could be the printer’s cipher. This style aligns with late Bauhaus and early wartime German commercial design, where aviation was a key theme in both consumer marketing and national symbolism. The simplicity and abstraction reflect the 1930s shift from ornamented art nouveau styles to clean, modernist layouts in advertising ephemera. This label likely served as a baggage tag, mail seal, or brand mark on Lufthansa correspondence or passenger materials. Chat GPT
