USS Macon Naval Zeppelin Flight Cover Santa Barbara CA Sept 11 1934 Hulff Cachet

Description

This lot contains a USS Macon dirigible cover (not flown) from September 11, 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 four flights - two in 1933 and two in 1934 - by the Macon.
This cover commemorates the 21st flight of the USS Macon from Moffett Field to Southern California and the Pacific.  The Macon left Moffett Field on the 11th and returned on the 13th.
Cover included:
9/11/1934 Santa Barbara, CA, German roller cancel with Julius Hulff cachet.  This cover is not listed in Ullmann/Mellone's.  The airmail envelope has an open flap with gum intact (not shown).  It is addressed to the cachet-maker's Historic Aeronautics Association.
Condition is as shown in the pics.  The cover shows minimal toning and is in nice shape and quite attractive.
