The brown paper contains the original Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei baggage label to: Captain J.A Sinclair London with another label that refers to the Berlin Anhalter Bahnhof (former railway terminal in Berlin opened in 1841- closed in 1952). The following provenance has been shared by the vendor: My father, the late Sir John Trelawny 12th Bt; was a keen pilot in the mid-1930's, he owned a Puss Moth and attended air-rallies at Brooklands and in Europe. He was a Flight Lieutenant with the RAF Volunteer Reserve and had a very keen interest in the development of airships. I discovered the contents of the above lot after his demise in 1956, I believe that it was passed to him by Captain James Sinclair; as well as being acquainted they shared a common interest in flying and airships.
