from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philipp Kosack (born October 17, 1869 - † May 16, 1938 in Copenhagen ) was a German stamp dealer.

He started small and made it into a stamp trade with worldwide significance. His Berlin shop was at Burgstrasse 12, near the Berlin City Palace . In 1900 he and his Danish business partner Edvard M. Ruben bought the remaining holdings from Jean-Baptiste Moens . Its first auction took place on October 22, 1900. In each case through barter deals he procured both copies of the Red and Blue Mauritius with the Moens Numbers VII and XXIII for the Reichspostmuseum . From 1905 he was the editor of the Berliner Briefmarken-Zeitung , which he discontinued in 1934. He was also the publisher of the postal stationery collector from 1912 to 1920 and was also a publisher of philatelic literature. Since he was Jewish, he emigrated to Denmark in 1935 .
