Here is another "cover" scan with a stamp on it.

This is a "by Graf Zepplin" cover sent from the Century of Progress Expo in Akron Ohio, October 28, 1933. Rear shows Sevilla, Spain roller cancel, November 7, 1933, and finally a New York GPO November 14, 1933 return cancel.

So if this is real, it took 17 days round trip from Ohio to Spain to New York.

Interesting cover, No?






Enjoy

Check out the cover being offered for sale at this link. The postmark is Akron, Ohio, on November 4, 1933 (7 days after your cover) yet it has the same New York backstamp of November 14, 1933. Interesting.

Humm, maybe they waited and "bulk" shipped them back at the same time? Interesting.

You may already have read this account of handling zeppelin mail (mostly concentrating on how Miami fits in with Akron and Chicago), but for anyone who is remotely interested in this kind of thing, this is pretty fascinating:
