USS Macon w 4/9/1934 USS Northampton cancel and Richard Dumonte cachet, Ullmann/Mellone's #22.2 for this date. The airmail cover has a sealed flap. Condition is as shown in the pics. The cover shows minimal toning, and is still in quite nice shape. Ullmann/Mellone's reports 36 covers made and values that cover at $125.00. Shipping in the US is either by first class mail or by first class parcel, depending on value. Shipping and handling for this lot is $6.00. Shipping to Canada is $16.00 and to selected foreign destinations (see list) is $26.00. See my other items for additional Macon, Akron, Zeppelin, Catapult, first flight, Canadian first flight covers, and FDC's. Note on storage and display of #10 covers: Many collectors have a difficult time storing and displaying large covers along with their smaller counterparts. I stumbled onto a simple method I thought was worth sharing. I use BCW 2-pocket pages for smaller covers (pocket size 7.125 x 5.5 inches). The pages are 8 x 10 inches total. BCW also make a 1-pocket page exactly the same size, great for #10 covers - intended for comic books. Both of these are illustrated in one of the photos. They are sold on Ebay and can be obtained for as low as $20 for a box of 100.
Number ten envelopes also fit
nicely (without rotating) on larger pages compatible with many printers and
scanners - 11 x 17, 12 x 18, 11 x 11, or 12 x 12, inch pages.
Thanks! |
