Franked with Dominican Republic stamps - the 2 centavos Alcazar de Colon and 10 centavos blue airmail map stamp. Blue transit handstamps on face record the cover's journey through intermediate Caribbean route points. \"Via Air Mail - Envelopes of this design approved by P.O.D. for exclusive use in Air Mail\" printed label at lower left. The cover bears the rubber-stamped label of the Stamp Club, Congress High School, Bridgeport, Connecticut - a charming provenance indicating this was prepared by a young philatelist who carefully planned ahead to catch the inaugural flight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reverse tells the full story: mailed from Bridgeport, Connecticut on January 4, 1929 - five days before the inaugural - to arrive in Santo Domingo in time for the historic first flight. Miami, Florida backstamp dated January 10, 1929 confirms the return leg through Miami. \"Air Mail Saves Time\" label also present on reverse. The sender's name, George Gordon Jr., appears on the reverse flap in elegant purple script - applied with what appears to be a personalized collector's name stamp, a mark of a serious young philatelist who took his hobby with appropriate formality. Some pink ink smudging on reverse consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA genuinely charming piece of youth philatelic history from the FAM 6 inaugural - a teenage stamp club member's carefully planned first flight cover that made the complete journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShips from St. Petersburg, Florida.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAny catalog prices specified in the title of this listing are from the current Scott catalog.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe item(s) shown in the photo is an unmodified image of the exact item the buyer will receive unless otherwise noted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor international shipments similar size\/weight items ship free if you pay postage for this one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease use scans to verify any suggested Scott # as sometimes mistakes are made.
