This is a lot of items about the ZRS AKRON airship. A great collection of items. Including a signed cover by Charles Rosendahl Scott UC1 - Commander, (and later Vice Admiral) of the Shenandoah, Los Angeles and Akron Airships. The Akron crashed on September 2, 1925. The Rosendahl cover is on a Scott UC1 5 cent envelope. There is cover from Lakehurst May 6, 1932 C16 or C12. Tactical Training Flight 1932. Perhaps most rare- Original USS Akron stationary page, as well as a page stamped in memoriam - "To the lives We Lost Memorial Day 1933". This I show in higher contrast just to make it more legible, but you can see it in the larger group photo. It is a rather pale and understated print. All really moving and beautiful. I have taken various photos and scans of the pieces. I am no authority on these things, as these all came from my grandfather's collection. He was a big collector of stamps, covers, correspondence, and Christmas Seals. Please see photos, and ask me for any more information that you may want. Thanks. If shipped overseas, we can figure postage and insurance at time of sale. I will ship anywhere.I have other Zeppelin, Airship, Air Mail lots going on eBay now. Please take a look. These are all vintage old period pieces from my grandfather's collection. I hope the opening bid does not seem too high, but there is no reserve, read more
