I'm working my way through 1929 and I came across these 5 Lindbergh flown covers. As flight covers they are only worth about $10 each but as a 25 cent 568 on cover it is cataloged at twice that. It is a whole different problem setting values based on the event verses the stamps. I do like to add a variety of stamps to my flight collection. The C11 Beacon gets boring when the alternatives can be the 5 cent Kansas or Nebraska or the 5 cent Erickson Memorial.
Nice covers! Well, they are interesting and also look very classy. Good luck with them! You deserve to enjoy them.
This is sort of related. A cover from a ship that was conducting a search for Amelia Earhart. Found it at an antique mall.
I enjoyed your slide show. The stamps you have chosen have excellent "eye appeal". The cover is great also.
Now that's an interesting cover! Not just a ship, but a battleship to boot. I can't remember for sure, but I don't think USS Colorado was at Pearl Harbor on December 7th. A very nice period piece! Don

Thanks for the information. I have several other U.S. Navy ship related covers as well, sent to the same person. I need to start Googling the information on my old covers to see what I can learn about the people receiving and sending these envelopes. I've got a ton of old postcards as well.
