The Graf Zeppelin.

LZ127 Graf Zeppelin. The most successful of the rigid airships.

These images were published by A. Weber & Co. (AWUCO), Stuttgart. There were at least four series of LZ127 views, including the construction, and the South America flight. The views are smaller (12.9cm x 6.4cm) and thinner than the standard stereocard. They appear to have been reproduced photographically - on photographic paper?

For a list of AWUCO LZ127 views, see http://www.zeppelin-3d.de/LZ127/LZ127.htm
