United States Air Mail Postage Stamp Collection in Album
This is a philatelic collection comprising several vintage United States Air Post (Air Mail) stamps mounted within a specialized printed stamp album page. The page features issues ranging from 1938 to 1946. Represented are several 'Transport' series airmail stamps including a 6-cent red orange (1941), an 8-cent olive green (1944), and a 20-cent dark green (1941) featuring twin-engine transport planes. Additionally, the 1938 6-cent bicolor eagle stamp and the 1946 5-cent red DC-4 Skymaster are present. The stamps are primarily used, exhibiting various black ink cancellations. For instance, the olive green 8-cent stamp shows a legible circular date stamp from October 22, 1944. The condition varies; most stamps appear to have intact perforations, though some exhibit minor centering issues typical of the era. The album page itself shows natural tonal aging with printed borders and descriptive text identifying Scott catalog numbers (like C25, C27, etc.). The 1939 'Trans-Atlantic' issue space remains empty. The paper quality of the stamps consists of standard wove paper characteristic of U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing production during WWII and the late 1930s.
