Over 50 First Day Covers related to Charles Lindbergh and air mail service, 46 with cachet, postmark and stamps; 9 with no cachet, but many have elaborate postmarks; 2 cachet covers have no stamps or postmarks; 1 FDC with stamps, cachet, no postmark (unused). In addition, there are 8 postcards and postcard-sized photos. There is one commemorative issue in leatherette wallet with postmarks from Roosevelt Field, May 20, 1977 and Le Bourget-Aeroport (Paris), May 21, 1977 and a silver medallion (1.25" diam.) of Lindbergh with the Spirit of St. Louis in the background. Plus a letter to Lindbergh from his Aunt Linda Seal (stationery Mrs. Joseph H. Seal / Melrose, Minnesota), n.d.. She notes that she has heard from some of the farmers around, especially a Jos. Kemper, that they do not want his father's ashes put on their land. It sounds like there may be a few native reservations in the area. "I thought I could almost see your father with that smile & twinkle in his eye - looking at them in rebuque at the ideah [sic] of him either dead or alive injuring on one intentionally." She goes on about his chosen career: "Be careful Charles you are in a very dangerous business -I will candidly admit I would be afraid to take a ride in a flying machine." There are several that are variations of a type. For example, there are six different covers that have tipped in photos of Lindbergh standing by his plane, some are different sizes, one is printed in purple, plus a seventh that shows the same image, but is printed on the cover rather than tipped in. There are others with the same artwork printed in different colors, etc. Condition: Some variation, depending on cancels, etc., but overall very good.
