662CVZeppelin cover collection arranged in a large binder. Includes over 100 cards and covers with various dates and cancels flown on various flights, with appropriate handstamped cachets, some on photo postcards or printed cachets.

663CVA simply marvelous grouping of over 125, 1920s and 1930s mostly airmail (some being first flights) covers with Asian destinations (many being Shanghai) from various worldwide origins. Also includes a few registered, ship, and some miscellaneous. Condition is very mixed with a very few stuck in the margin of an old photo album. There is no rhyme or reason to this very eclectic assemblage. An original holding with some huge upside potential. Needs careful examination to come up with the right number.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,000.00
Price Realized: $3,000.00

669CVCover collection of nearly 400 pieces, mostly 1930s to 1950s US cacheted first day covers. However, we noticed some fronts, events, uncacheted, and non US covers which dampened our enthusiasm. On the other hand, that is offset by substantial additional value from several dozen Iceland/Greenland/Denmark covers, mostly cacheted FDCs with sets from 1945 to 1956. Please don’t let anything escape from the scrapbook as you view.Cat. Value: S.B. 200.00
