Image sent by Jos Telleman: Elbe, a German shipping company, sold in 1989 to Federal Express (see Alvracht, the Netherlands). Full name: Schiffahrts- und Speditions Kontor Elbe, Hamburg. The firm was founded 15 Jun 1921 as Deutsch-Holländisches Schiffahrtskontor GmbH., and got its new name in April 1922. It was a large company with tankcoasters, push-boats and inlandtankers, just like Alvracht.
The Elbe flag is blue, bordered brightblue; in center white diamond with outlined blue diamond, red "ELBE".

At this webpage is another Elbe houseflag: nearly the same, but with two blue outlined diamonds. The same image is shown in Wolter's 'See und Seefahrt', 1968.
