Item Description

Grade: Ungraded
1. Address Verification: Sender: A. Zimmerlinsky, Chr. Weissstr. 17, Nürnberg (Nuremberg), Germany. Google Verification: Christian-Weiss-Straße 17 exists in Nuremberg, Germany. It appears to be a valid address. Recipient: Morris Zimmer, 565 West 169 Street, New York City, America. Google Verification: 565 W 169th St exists in New York City, NY, USA (specifically in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan). It appears to be a valid address (an apartment building). 2. Translation (German to English): NÜRNBERG: Nuremberg DIE STADT DER REICHSPARTEITAGE: The City of the Reich Party Rallies (This was an official title for Nuremberg during the Nazi era). 3. Brief Summary: This is a cover sent from A. Zimmerlinsky in Nuremberg, Germany, to Morris Zimmer in New York City, USA. It was postmarked in Nuremberg on September 29, 1937. The postmark includes the Nazi-era designation for Nuremberg, "The City of the Reich Party Rallies," and a swastika. The total postage is 25 Pfennig. Both the sender and recipient addresses correspond to real locations. 4. Route, Distance, and Travel Time Estimation: Route: The letter would have traveled from Nuremberg, Germany, to New York City, USA. In 1937, this would almost certainly have involved surface mail transport within Germany (likely train to a port city like Hamburg or Bremen) followed by a transatlantic sea voyage via mail ship to New York harbor, and finally local delivery within New York City. Distance: The approximate great-circle (shortest) distance between Nuremberg and New York City is about 6,400 kilometers (approx. 4,000 miles). The actual shipping route would be longer. Travel Time (Historical Estimate): Transatlantic mail delivery by sea in 1937 typically took approximately 7 to 14 days, depending on the specific mail ship, weather conditions, and processing times at both ends.
