Post A Pic Of Your Favorite Airmail Stamp(S).

Hello,

Wow ! all really great stamps.

Very nice Uboatnut ! Thanks for sharing them.


Ciltaliph.....Those are nice China aereos, & they have a lot of variations as well as the secret mark too, they'll keep you busy for an evening ;)
Yes mate, we call them Crows here, but same as your Raven, they are 'very' smart.
I didn't think anyone would have spotted those before I chickened out & removed them. I wanted to share them but realised if they ended up in the google space as a bait & hook for others to take money off people, it would cause me a drama ;)
In the 15 minutes after posting I found my Mexico thread on three google searchs I did & got cold feet, sorry
I need to work a way out to watermark protect those sort of photos before I do that again later as a proper late intro.

So here's my second nice find this month in my Mexicans. It was listed as what I now beleive is a SG #417a.(thanks to help in the other thread)
In Scotts he seems to be a 1929 sc#C1a, it is thinner paper than my others & no watermark, as well as being the dark blue & claret

Hi all,
More......1st.= 1942 Scott # C117 & C119..... 2nd.= 1935 Scott # C76..... 3rd.= 1942 Scott # C126, c127 & C128.









PS...Ciletaliph...That $73 on 25c China aereo if no watermark & 14 perf. I'd be checking into more ;) ......& here's my aereo pal 5 years earlier, he was ground based then but he's very aereo now . Best I can do for now mate.

Wow uboatnut

Jad, not perf 14 and secret mark is Hong Kong.
Cool pic, you should make your aereo pal your avatar pic

1975 Upper Volta airmail, Washington crossing Delaware River

Hi all. nice !

Cool thought Ciletaliph but adding it is different here to other forums I'm on. I tried when I first came here to put one on.

Another of the Mexicans, most likely been posted before here but just sharing anyway

1930 Scott C29.

Later....Jad.

OK, so I'm an aereo post hog ! 1957 Scott #C131.





Hi all, found some more, I like them all, what can I say..... so I have a new focus area, any thoughts on what I should house all of my Aereos in together would be appreciated too. I would like to get it right from the start & experience is best for that which I don't have ;)
Enjoy.....Jad

Scott C39 1954, Scott C53 1976-78, Sc.C46 & C50 1957-58.

Keep em coming Jad

Old dealer glassines are cool!

Not airmail stamps, but shows planes carrying mail





Now I'm wondering if the old paper card in the glassines is staining, foxing the stamps, yikes?

Hi all.

Nice Ciletaliph,
Been really busy with caretaking wild aereos, as we are well into Spring here. My real world skills, like many of you here too I'm sure, are much better spent there than scanning & stamps ;) Easy to forget we all lead different lives.
There is 20 days & nights between my pals photos to be one of the fastest aereos around here
Please don't type in what he is or google will pick it up on searches & he maybe be used for the wrong reasons, my images are gifts to the good people of this forum, but there's Ying & Yang :(

I won't get much stamp time until well into the wet season here now.

...................

I too found my stamps in the older albums, that I removed all stamps from, were showing signs the old paper was causing damage to spread.

....................

Here's some more of those Mexican pages done by an unknown stamper for you mate as promised earlier, I'll try to put more on as I'm able, but don't hold your breath it could be a while.

All the best........Jad

Cute Jad
Mexico certainly has many varieties of airmails!

Sorted some airmails, and these are some of the cancels I found,
rather than all wavy lines

What a great thread! I went through every post and enjoyed them all. Here are 2 of my favorites, early Newfoundland airmails:

Sent during some very historic times.

Couple of my favorite Air mail stamps of France

Recently got these 1912 German airmail official stamps.

Here's the first two airmail issues from Latvia. Before anyone points it out, I've got the labels the wrong way round on the first issues. Fixed in the album but not the scan...





The second set was re-issued in 1931 in the same colours and values, but with a changed watermark.

Three airmail issues from Lithuania, with perforation and watermark varieties. Lithuania issued many other lovely sets of airmail stamps.
