Description: This lot contains a USS Akron memorial crash cover (not flown) from May 30, 1934, as described below. The postmarks and cachets commemorate the passing of the USS Macon over various locations or Navy ships. As the USS Macon and USS Akron were military vessels, little, if any, mail was carried after the first few flights of the Akron in 1932 and two flights - one in 1933 and one in 1934 - by the Macon.This cover commemorates the crash of the USS Akron on April 4,1933. Cover included:5/30/1934, USS Northampton "Always Remembered" postmark with C. W. Richell and D. Schramm cachets. The cover is not listed in Ullmann/Mellone's; a #6 cover with single Schramm cachet is listed as #19 for this date. The #10 cover also has a Richell "Boost Old Ironsides" cachet on the reverse. The cover has an open flap with gum intact (not shown). Condition is as shown in the pics. The cover shows minimal toning and is in nice shape. These multiple-cachet # 10 covers are quite rare; I have seen only two. I am listing a number of covers either flown or commemorating flights every week. I usually distribute the listings between numerous categories, so please check my other listings (other items). Shipping in the US is either by first class mail or by first class parcel, depending on value. Shipping and handling for this lot is $4.50.
