LZ 129 Hindenburg (Luftschiff Zeppelin #129; Registration: D-LZ 129) was a German commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship, the lead ship of the Hindenburg class, the longest class of flying machine and the largest airship by envelope volume. She was designed and built by the Zeppelin Company on the shores of Lake Constance in Friedrichshafen, Germany, and was operated by the German Zeppelin Airline Company. The airship flew from March 1936 until it was destroyed by fire 14 months later on May 6, 1937 while attempting to land at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester Township, New Jersey, at the end of the first North American transatlantic journey of her second season of service with the loss of 36 lives. This was the last of the great airship disasters; it was preceded by the crashes of the British R38 in 1921 (44 dead), the US airship Roma in 1922 (34 dead), the French Dixmude in 1923 (52 dead), the British R101 in 1930 (48 dead), and the USS Akron in 1933 (73 dead).
Here is a piece of Hindenburg Zeppelin china we have sold in the past:
China Used on Historic Hindenburg Zeppelin Airship — Cup & Saucer Designed by Heinrich & Company — Not the Set Designed for Tourists
Porcelain cup and saucer used aboard the infamous Hindenburg airship which was destroyed in a fire on 6 May 1937. Matching set has official Zeppelin logo reading, “DEUTSCHE / ZEPPELIN REEDEREI”. Both pieces are a creme color with ornate gold and blue trim. Undersides contain Heinrich & Company stamp with the marking, “HEINRICH-ELFENBEIN-PORZELLAN”. Beneath markings are the labels that confirm each piece was used aboard the Hindenburg, as opposed to separate sets sold to tourists, “EIGENTUM DER DEUTSCHEN / ZEPPELIN-REEDEREI”. Cup and saucers not actually used on board are much less scarce and labeled, “ORIGINAL BORDPORZELLAN DER DEUTSCHEN LUFTSCHIFFE”. The Hindenburg disaster killed 35 of the 97 people on board and marked the end of the airship era. Saucer measures 6.25″ in diameter, cup measures 3″ in diameter. Small chip on lip of cup, otherwise both pieces are in near fine condition. Sold for $959.
