image Roessler Fake Cachet Cover Signed by R-100 Captain and Other Crew, the cover is signed on front by Ralph Booth, the R-100 Captain, as well as the First Officer and one of the Riggers. There are also 6 other signatures on the back (see scans). The St. Hubert c.d.s. appears to be legitimate, but the postmaster George Faille was known to back date covers. The R-100 cachet lacks the sharpness of the genuine cachets. Still a very scarce signed cover. (Image)

image May 18, 1925 Northern Air Service Experimental Flight Covers, both Admiral franked covers, one mailed Haileybury to Rouyn Lake and the other Rouyn Lake to Haileybury, both with appropriate purple cachet and datestamps. Only 8 covers were flown each way for B.M. Broatch to prove to the Post office that he could provide the service. Some of the 8 pairs of covers were since broken up, and so this is a very rare opportunity to obtain a fresh and very fine intact pair. The company's first official flights (with semi-official stamps) were not approved until June 27th of that year. (Image)
