I love the old covers too.
They just scream 'history'...
I wonder how hard it would become to fill the holes in a stamp album with the stamps on cover... Do you think it has ever been done?
Edit
Talking about each design, not every single Scott#, which would require watermark testing and such.
One of my pet projects is to collect covers of all the historic stamps (US) that I can find. I've used a few to teach kids at my daughter-in-laws classroom (5th grade) about American History and the value of stamp collecting as a great hobby for studying each piece as a image of the past. Unfortunately, the kids of today do not understand that there was a time that there was no telephones, let alone cell and internet access.
Never mind that you posted it in the wrong section, it is a very nice cover (I think the triangular Dutch airmail stamps are really beautiful)
Love the baby Zep!
That's the first FDC I have ever seen for that issue.
Bet that wasn't in the bargin bin!
Thanks, Here's the FDC of the baby Zep:
One of my major phoo paws in my life was selling this cover. I used the money from the sale of this and some other high end stamps to purchase a house, never seen one in auction since:
That's purty!
i don't have a million interests like some folks seem to have nowadays..i have my stamps and a 2012 261 hp Nissan Frontier 4x4 to get me out of tight spots if i have to ! I guess i am happy !
