Notable 5″ x 3″ x 2.5″ duralumin girder section of the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin airship. In fine condition, with expected wear from use.
Graf Zeppelin was a German passenger-carrying hydrogen-filled rigid airship. When completed in 1928, It was the longest and largest airship in the world and offered the first commercial transatlantic passenger flight service. Over its lifetime—it flew until 1937—it made 590 flights totaling almost 1.7 million kilometers (over 1 million miles), including the first circumnavigation of the world by airship and the first nonstop crossing of the Pacific Ocean by air.
