94 620 image1925, 2¢ Norse-American (Scott 620), prepared for a June 6-9 flight aboard the USS Los Angeles; Luff #4280 listed as RARE, Fine to Very Fine.
Estimate $150 - 200

Many dealers and collectors wanted to send mail on this flight but were turned down. Joseph Steinmetz, a collector and a major, by rank, found a way to get his prepared envelope with a Norse American stamp on it on the flight. The scheduled flight lift off was for June 6th but a helium malfunction caused a delay. On June 7th at 1:30 p.m. it lifted off. One hour later it was forced to land because of mechanical problems. It never left again for this particular trip so likely this cover made its way by regular mail service. The Steinmetz cover arrived at the federal Reserve Bank on June 12, 1925. (Image)

Airmail
LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
100   imageAirmail, 1911, two vintage postcards featuring Calbraith Perry Rodgers and his "Vin Fiz" pioneer airplane. The first card features Rodgers with a cigar characteristically clenched in his jaw in a car provided for his family by Vin Fiz; the second card is of Rodgers leaving New York.
Estimate $75 - 100

Calbraith Perry Rodgers was the first man to fly across the United States. He undertook this flight in 1911 to win the $50,000 prize offered by William Randolph Hearst. Rodgers' effort was supported by the Armour Company and Rodgers named his plane after their new grape soda, Vin Fiz. Armour's support allowed for construction of a special Wright plane, mechanics, and spare parts transported on a special train that followed below the airplane. The spare parts were essential because Rodgers crashed repeatedly. He did complete the transcontinental flight on December 10, 1911, but not within the time limit set for the Hearst prize. Sadly, Rodgers' met his demise in a fatal crash in his backup plane in Long Beach Harbor on April 3, 1912. (Image) (Image2)
