1,2,3,5 and 10 Mint Never Hinged20 Mint No GumThe Zeppelin ZR-III (officially known as LZ 126) was a rigid airship built in Germany by the Zeppelin company in 1924 as part of World War I war reparations.
In October 1924, it successfully completed the first transatlantic flight from continental Europe to the Americas, traveling from Friedrichshafen (Germany) to Lakehurst (New Jersey, United States) in approximately 81 hours.
It was handed over to the United States Navy, where it was renamed USS Los Angeles (ZR-3).
It was the most successful airship of the U.S. program and the only one that did not suffer any serious accidents. It operated safely on training and research missions until it was decommissioned in 1932 and dismantled in 1940.
