An Addition To The Graf Zeppelin Cover Family

I didn't have this leg of "The Round The World Flight". Couldn't resist this combination of stamps either.

Very pretty cover! And serviced by C.E. Nickles, which adds value.

Well, Jenny2U beat me to it in calling attention to Nickles. And I love the combination of stamps also.

Lost a little bit of the cachet at the bottom. A little bit of staining also amongst the stamps.

But first glance, I love the balance of stamps, postmark and cachet. Then the blue and red border frames it up nice.

I think it is a very nice, colorful, relatively clear and well put together first flight for the Los Angeles to Lakehurst leg of this around the world flight of the Graf Zasppelin. The combination of stamps is nice and totals the 60 cents that was charged for letters on this leg (cards were 30 cents). You do not show the backstamp which I assume is present and correct. The backstamp is critical on most flight covers. It is especially critical on this one since there was mail destined for this flight that arrived too late and was sent by regular air mail service to Lakehurst. Those normally have a 'received too late' rubber stamp marking on them though so yours looks right for having been flown on the Graf.

The back is a little messy. But it does have a decent Lakehurst cancel.
