Welcome to Rainer's ebay page
|
About my self, I confess, I am a stamp collector (well, almost addicted to stamps and postal history) and over the years I have started several collections, disposed of them and started others. However, my Tibet Collection I never gave up. I have been employed for more then 27 years by a German Electronics Giant and am currently stationed in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, as Site Project Manager for a large Project with a local governmental organization. During the 27 years of service abroad I have worked in almost every continent of the world with the exception of North America. I am even one of the few westerners who has worked in North Korea, not a very pleasant experience, but at the end, an experience not to be missed. Noteworthy are my 5 ½ years in Iraq from 1984 - 1990 up to the final count down as hostage from August 1990 - November 1990 during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait and later on, my 11 years duty in Kuwait. For the ones who like it in detail, aside from Germany, I worked in Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Greece, Poland, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, North Korea, Philippines, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Burundi, Togo, Benin and if I count all transit countries I have touched to reach these places I had been on a large number of countries on this planet. My ebay activities are buying and selling; selling material accumulated over almost 40 years of collecting, buying items I like to have for my own collections as mentioned below. I treat my partners as friends, and my feedback speaks for it self. I usually pay for my items the same day I receive the invoice and ship usually the same day payment has arrived. Currently, my main collecting areas are:

Waterlow Essay in green with Watermark
Waterlow Essay in grün mit Wasserzeichen
|
Based on a draft received
from the Tibetan government, the famous British printing house Waterlow &
Sons prepared a few essays and sent them to the Tibetan government for
approval. All these essays had been in the nomination of 1 Karmanga,
printed in various colours. However, most likely due to financial reasons,
Waterlow & Sons did not receive the order to print the stamps of Tibet;
however, they had been printed in Tibet in the traditional printing way.
These so-called Waterlow Essays as they are no called are very rare and
only a few are known. |

Die berühmte englische
Druckerei Waterlow & Sons hatte, basierend auf einem Entwurf aus Tibet
eine Anzahl von Essays, alle in der Wertstufe 1 Karmanga in
unterschiedlichen Farben angefertigt, die nun als Waterlow Essays bekannt
sind. Diese Essays wurden der tibetischen Regierung vorgelegt. Der
Druckauftrag wurde, vermutlich aus finanziellen Gründen, dann doch nicht
der Firma Waterlow & Sons erteilt, stattdessen wurden die Marken in der
traditionellen Druckweise von tibetischen Druckern hergestellt. Diese
Essays sind extrem selten und nur in wenigen Stücken bekannt. |
