The stamp is sound although the cover is a little beat up. I bought it online from a reputable APS member/dealer. Thank you Russ. Are you talking about the CDS or the US Airmail purple stamp? Thank you. |

Great cover Jeff ! Jenny's on cover are always great additions to any US collection. Knowing Russ, he must be referring to the Pageant of Progress cancel. |

The service mark Russ is referring to is the small letter "c" in the lower right hand corner. The frame of the slogan cancel is missing where the c is. |

I didn't realize before that Bellefonte, PA was actually a stop on the transcontinental airmail route from San Francisco to New York. |

One of the more interesting aspects of this cover is that it is a true commerical cover and not a commerative or self mailed by a collector. Very nice find - thanks for sharing. |

Thank you.
It appears to be in better shape than the images would suggest. He must have really been tweaking the shading and highlights on those. |
