Introduction

The album for Danzig was issued in 1930 by Kaffee Hag, Danzig.

The athor of the album was most likely Dr. Hubertus Schwarz. Dr. Schwartz was senator for the city council of Danzig and was mentioned as the author and designer. However, there are reasons to suspect that F. W. Burau is the real designer of the images.

The book contains 125 arms, and besides the arms of the city and towns, it also contains images of personal arms, Hausmarken (house-marks, or logos), the seals of the city of Danzig and flags. As the territory of Danzig was very small, these additions were necessary for a complete album. Several later additions were planned, and some space was left for these in the album, but these were never issued. The Danzig album is the only album with flags, logos and seals. Personal arms were also issued for the Netherlands and Norway.

The arms were printed in 7 sheets of 18 stamps each. The last sheet contained also an advertising stamp for the company. The stamps could, as in the other countries, be collected using coupons present in the Kaffee Hag packages.

There are no misprints or variations of the arms known. However, there are two editions of the album itself, or at least the last sheet, known. One version shows the printer as Kafemann Druck, Danzig, the other shows a logo and the text “Druck: A.W. Kafemann G.M.B.H. Danzig“:
