Sieger #64F/57ga, 1930 Pan-American Flight, attractive Zeppelin photo card with unusual mixed franking for the return flight from Lakehurst to Friedrichshafen, U. S. 65c Zeppelin tied by a portion of what looks to be a New York railroad cancel, but this card was not processed as normal Zeppelin mail at Lakehurst lacking the American return cachet, on board a German 1M Black and salmon air post was tied by the "Luftschiff/Graf Zeppelin/6. 6. 30" on-board c.d.s. on the day the Zeppelin arrived at Friedrichshafen and backstamped on the same day, actually this latter on-board posting is rather scarce even with non-Zeppelin franking, red German flight cachet, very fine and unusual (Michel #68d/68Gd; not priced thus by Sieger or Michel).
