1948 - Iceland - 264 - Cover

Luggage tag franked with 5.70 kr in Icelandic stamps (incl. 5 kr Karlsefni in perf 11 1/2), cancelled KEFLAVÍK FLUGVÖLLUR 9.9.48. The tag seems to have been used in a similar manner as a sort of a parcel card, attached to a small package (presumably the small package was being sent as a letter). An interesting factor is that the sender seems to have been an employee of LOCKHEED that ran the airport at Keflavik for some years, starting from 1948 onwards.
