Description

This well-rounded 34-pound lot brings together mint postal stationery, mint United Nations material, and first day covers across a range of formats, with enough variety to keep collectors and accumulators busy for hours. The breakdown is straightforward - approximately six pounds of US postal cards, ten pounds of US first day covers, and seven pounds of US postal stationery, all making up the core of the lot.

The UN material adds real depth, with a nice selection from all three UN offices including many complete booklets. Beyond the core material, the highlights here are genuinely exciting. About 15 US First Flight covers are included, among them four covers from the historic First Trans-Pacific Flight of November 22, 1935 - a milestone in aviation and postal history that serious cover collectors will recognize immediately. Space themed commemorative covers add further topical appeal, and a few C23 covers from 1938 National Airmail Week round out the airmail highlights. Eight war ration books belonging to a family in Plymouth, Massachusetts add a fascinating piece of home front history to an already varied lot.

For the general collector, the range of material here crosses multiple collecting areas in a single purchase. For the accumulator or specialist, the First Flight covers alone make this lot worth a close look, with the remaining 34 pounds of organized material adding exceptional supporting value.
