      The odyssey of the Heligoland printing plates: Goldner's reprints

      In this episode of "Stamps tell stories", we explore the fascinating and complex history of the printing plates for stamps from Helgoland, a former British Crown Colony. We follow their journey from being a part of a 19th-century stamp tycoon's business empire to their seizure by the Nazis, their disappearance for decades, and their eventual restitution. This is a story that reveals the intersection of commerce, law, and a dark chapter of history.

      The Russia Number One: How a Broken Machine Created a Stamp Legend
      Sep 12 2025
      In this episode, we explore how a small, unassuming postage stamp became a monumental piece of history and a highly sought-after collector's item. We journey back to the Russian Empire of 1858 to uncover the fascinating story of the Russia Number One stamp. A broken machine and a pragmatic decision created a rare, unperforated version of the stamp, turning a manufacturing hiccup into philatelic gold. We examine its profound impact on communication, its enduring legacy, and its unique appeal to collectors. We also spotlight three incredible examples from the upcoming Elin Collection auction, each with a story of its own, including a unique cancellation and a rare combination cover.

      150 Years of the Universal Postal Union: The Revolution in Global Postal Services
      Sep 5 2025
      In this episode of our podcast series, "Stamps Tell Stories", presented by Heinrich Köhler Auctions, we delve into a revolutionary chapter of global communication: the mid-19th century. We explore the pioneering work of German postmaster Heinrich von Stephan, the visionary behind the postcard and the main initiator of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). At the heart of the episode is a world-class collector, James "Jamie" Gough. We discover why his legendary UPU collection, soon to be auctioned by Heinrich Köhler, is considered one of the most important in postal history. We learn how his unconventional approach revolutionised philately and how letters and cards from the UPU's founding years tell the story of this chaotic and transformative era.
