Hi Art ! (artlaunier)
Love the airship covers! I love covers that have a lot to look at. In the bottom left corner in puple ink, the Graf Zeppelin Flight stamps like from a rubber stamp? If so, can you imagine having that in your collection?

I have never seen the green USA 50 cent airship stamp, very nice! The First Flight Airmail, dated OCT 28 1928 is terrific ! ! !

You have a very nice collection of airship covers. Where did you find them? In the bottom envelope, what does BACK STAMP mean?

Thanks so much for sharing, love them!!

What is a GRAF Zeppelin? Where did the word GRAF come from? I've not heard of it before...

I know Zeppelin as either an airship or one of the all time greatest bands back in 1970's!! LOLOL (Led Zeppelin, "does anyone remember laughter!)

I am so glad this thread keeps going (like the Energizer battery ha!) I found a couple of unusual stamps (well, they are unusual to me LOL) so I will start a couple more threads soon. This is a fantastic Forum!

Take care,

Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin (1838-1917), German officer and engineer, founder of the Zeppelin airship company ("Graf" is German for "Count")

OK, you want air ship, I got air ship.
Just received these today from Sir Rodney in an amazing bundle.
Checkout this collection of Mongolian stamps.
















These babies are huge. They're almost poster stamps.
As the late great George Harrison said "Pretty very out far!"

Very nice!
Looking at the stamps, I am wondering if anyone has been up in one?
Also, do they really have hot air balloon races? LOLOL....
