Well don't I feel dumb. I tried finding something on the post mark, but I was looking at the E being an F. Totally missed the bottom. Neat, thanks for the info. Like the history! |

This won't be an isolated case.... expect it often. Postmarks can be ornery blighters, and fool the best of us, sometimes.

Hey Rod222, you said not listed in the large data base. Is this something I could just share the picture with or would they require more? Would they even be interested in adding this? Would love to share it if they would want it. Adding to history is awesome. I know we can not list emails so what would be the name of the data base, I'm sure they would have contact info for general stuff right? |

I thought the St. Neots cancel was great. And that says a lot, coming from someone who doesn't give a rip about cancels!
The first Chilean airmail you showed looks like the plane is rising out of the mountain, reminiscent of the Batmobile emerging from the secret entrance in the hillside. Too bad the plane isn't headed in the other direction. Then it could be titled "Seconds Before Impact." |

It's actually an air post stamp from Spain, despite the inscribed "Chile". The other is from Spain too.

I'm trying to figure this out, but which other is from Spain also. I know the first one you refer to is 1920, but that was the best I could do without reference books. Can't purchase yet and my Library does not have. Thanks Cheryl |

Thank you for specifying and thanks for the link. Already done so it should be all set for Allan to review. I don't know what you mean by credit, but I don't need it. We're all good and so cool. |

Cheryl, Look at your 2 Spanish stamps...... see the little black cat bottom right ? Charles Lindbergh loved cats, that is his cat, named "Patsy"  |
