More favorite covers from the collection.



This cover is from Calliope's collection. It is a first day cover of of the 1938 Royal Wedding stamps. It is franked with the middle value , (3 drachma) , of the set of three stamps commemorating the wedding of Prince Paul to Princess Frederika Louise of Hannover. I think this cover is "extra" special by being created on stationary from the King George Hotel in Athens.

Some of my favorite covers in our collection.


I'm listing and writing about these covers in no particular order. These covers are from my previous collection when I started collecting in the 90"s and also from my wife's grandparents collection. Some are covers aquired after the two collections merged.
This first cover is from Calliope's collection and is a cover canceled at the 1936 Olympics. This was the Oylimpics in Berlin and opened officially by Chancellor Adolf Hitler.
