The Perfect Airmail Stationery

[acfrery]

Airmail or Onion Paper

has been discussed here.

 

I am a big fan of this kind of stationery, and I have tried a number of brands over the years with little success. Crane's "Via Airmail" is an exception; it is excellent, but hard to find (thank you Kurt!).

 

I tried another one that used to be relatively cheap in Germany a few years ago. I bought several blocks, and managed to have a more or less regular supply, but my German Connection is not working anymore

 

These are scans of the front and back of the very last (now empty) block of this stationery. As you can see, it still has a price sticker in DM.

 

Does anybody know this brand? Can it be found out there? I would be really grateful if someone could give me a link to a store that sells it.

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Alejandro

You may have seen this already but MK Papier has a website: http://www.mk-papier.de/ It's in German.

And I forgot to mention that it comes in white and blue.

Alejandro, I'm afraid these blocks are pretty old. I've never seen them around here, but I've never been looking out for airmail stationery.

Your paper was made by the company BRUNNEN. I've checked their webpage but it seems like they are not producing it anymore (see for yourself: http://www.brunnen.de/index_flash.html there's an english version too).

mk-papier.de doesn't sell paper, its some kind of mailing service for advertising letters (??? don't know how you call this -> kind of real life spam).

 

I'm sorry I couldn't help you... maybe someone here known another good brand of airmail stationery.

That's right! tracing paper or vellum of even they make rolls of a really thin sketch paper for designers & engineering drawings that would work. You might have to cut it to size but it would have the transparency.

Crane makes (did make) Air mail paper. I bought both white and blue in the last few years. One (white) came in a tablet and the blue was in a box (paper and envelopes). The blue was the most recent purchase. Further research lead me to a posting on the FP Network site from 11/06 and I found out it has been discontinued. Available only from remainder shops, old stock type things. Sorry
