Hi all.

Two good looking A.A. items.







Very nice T.W.A. etiquette from Egypt.

I'll toss mine on the pile.
Ticket stamped on back: Apr. 24, 1942

patg23, Very nice indeed!

Hi all,

This label was posted previously, but I thought it was interesting to find it tied to a FDC. Normally, the labels were placed too low on a cover to catch the cancellation.

Thought ok to put here.
Not etiquette or cinderellas but ephemera

California Central Airlines (CCA) was a post-war American scheduled intrastate airline based at Burbank, California.

Founded by Charles C. Sherman and Edna K. Sherman in 1946 as Airline Transport Carriers as an irregular carrier, flew its first services in 1946. On 28 January 1948 a Douglas DC-3 (NC36480) crashed at Los Gatos,the airline was rebranded as California Central Airlines. Due to financials difficulties the carrier filed for bankruptcy in 1954 and closed definitely.

An interesting site to look for Airlines.
