Lot 94 |

1925, 2¢ Norse-American (Scott 620), prepared for a June 6-9 flight aboard the USS Los Angeles; Luff #4280 listed as RARE, Fine to Very Fine. Estimate $150 - 200 Many dealers and collectors wanted to send mail on this flight but were turned down. Joseph Steinmetz, a collector and a major, by rank, found a way to get his prepared envelope with a Norse American stamp on it on the flight. The scheduled flight lift off was for June 6th but a helium malfunction caused a delay. On June 7th at 1:30 p.m. it lifted off. One hour later it was forced to land because of mechanical problems. It never left again for this particular trip so likely this cover made its way by regular mail service. The Steinmetz cover arrived at the federal Reserve Bank on June 12, 1925.
