Sieger #64G

Sieger #64G, 1930 Pan-American Flight, a most unusual franking and sending to Manila, Philippine Islands, this cover from the return address originated in Basel, Switzerland and has three Swiss adhesives including two air posts, plus a German 15pf Carmine affixed, none of these were cancelled in the countries of origin, however U.S. $1.30 Zeppelin is tied by "Chicago, Ill./Air Mail/May 27, 1930" duplex and flown on the return flight from Lakehurst to Friedrichshafen, possessing violet American return flight cachet and red German flight cachet plus scarce Friedrichshafen backstamp with wavy lines, then transported to the Philippines with Berlin, Moscow and Manchuria transits and backstamped Manila on July 3rd, it is a puzzle what the unused franking was intended to do, but a scarce destination nonetheless, perf. tip toning, otherwise nearly very fine and unusual (Sieger €650; Michel #68Ge) (Image)

Sieger #64C

Sieger #64C, 1930 Pan-American Flight, $2.60 Zeppelin and two air posts tied to A.C. Roessler printed cachet and combination Zeppelin/Catapult flight cover, this cover was first sent by the May 8, 1930 catapult flight of the "Bremen" to Koln with all three stamps tied by "U.S. German Sea Post/S.S. Bremen/May 3, 1930" duplexes and receiving the scalloped red flight cachet of the catapult flight, from there the cover was transported to Friedrichshafen for the flight to Lakehurst, since this did not go to Europe in the normal Zeppelin mail it did not receive the violet America flight cachet or even a Friedrichshafen transit, but it did receive the red German flight cachet and green Lakehurst Zeppelin backstamp of May 31st indicating it properly flew on the Zeppelin flight, trivial edge wear to cover, a very fine and handsome example of this rare Zeppelin/Catapult combination (not priced thus in Sieger; Michel #66Gb; Michel gives €1,000 additional premium to covers of this flight flown on catapult flights).

C15

#C15, $2.60 Zeppelin, tied to cover addressed to Finland by "New York, N.Y./City Hall Sta./May 2, 1930" duplex, this was apparently intended to be a combination Zeppelin/Catapult flight cover, but the sender did two things wrong, he did not pay an extra 20c postage for the catapult flight and he did not give specific instructions, he only specified the catapult flight, therefore the cover was sent on the May 8,1930 catapult flight from the steamer "Bremen" to Koln with that flight's cachet, then by air via Sweden to Finland, small surface scuffs to cover including one on the stamp, otherwise very fine; technically the sender paid enough postage so he could have specified by catapult to Koln then by Zeppelin via Friedrichshafen to Seville or Brazil and he would certainly have been accommodated; an interesting usage of this high value Zeppelin stamp to pay a 20c rate.
