1934 - Iceland - 204.. - Cover
Cover sent with an airmail label affixed from Reykjavík on November 1, 1934, franked with four different values of the then newly issued Airmail Stamps. Sent to Germany by air and stamped at the airport in Berlin on November 8 and then finally again at the Nuremberg airport two hours later (same day). What is interesting is that the cover does not appear to have been postmarked when it arrived on the mainland after it's journey with the ship from Iceland before being sent on to Germany by airmail, as was the common precedure.

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.

Interesting as well as rare cover sent to Belgium in 1946. The cover has been hand stamped with O.A.T. (Onward Air Transmission) handstamp in red while in transit in London, indicating that the cover should continue by airmail. Such handstamps are believed to have been struck on the upper most cover of each bundle of such mail.
