Here are some covers I got about a week ago at a flea market in Tulsa, Oklahoma.


This is an American Airlines Event Cover complete with correspondence letter.








Here are some Bicentennial Covers. Unfortunately the coin is missing in the second cover but at $1.00 for the pair who is to complain.



A Canadian FDC.



Here is an Independance Hall and an Alexander Hamilton FDC.



A United Nations Emergency Force FDC.




And last but not least here are a couple of Naval Covers for all you Sea Dog's.

Great pick up C/W
Have you considered framing that letter with the first flight cover?
I would, that's something special.

Phil the one with the Life Preserver on it has raised ink on it and I think the bird may be hand drawn if not it is a very good print.

Bandicoot, yes I have in fact thought of framing the letter and cover.

I am going to be doing a display of stamps and covers for my local library here in a couple of weeks and am thinking very seriously of putting these covers in the display. When I get it set up I will see if they can get me a pic of it so I can post it on here.

Wish me luck this is the first time I have ever done anything like this.

Good luck !! would love to see how you set up and present your collection in the library. If you could post pictures that would be great! Will there be a particular theme you are going to follow?

Rick I am thinking about just showing difference in things like mint, CTO, and postally used. Showing some FDC's. As well as just some single stamps from around the world to try and get some other people around here interested in the Hobby.

Cim , dont be surprised if you meet some fellow stamp collectors when you display at the library..you may want to leave your name and address etc for anyone that wants to correspond with you..might even be some young collectors around !!
