First Day Covers for Admiral Chester W. Nimitz stamp
(Scott 1869) & other covers honoring Nimitz
This is a group of 114 covers honoring Admiral Chester Nimitz during the war and First Day Covers for the 50¢ stamp (Scott 1869) issued Feb 22, 1985. This group includes a large number of hand painted and handmade covers produced in very small quantities. This may well be the finest collection of Nimitz FDCs outside of the Nimitz Foundation in Texas. They are listed below in alphabetical order by cachet.
Prices are cheap! And if you need proof of that you'll see that every cover except the four in the top row below has been purchased. All covers will be sent by First Class Mail. You, the buyer, pay only the exact postage plus 50¢ per order for packaging and handling.
To make sure you get what you want from this or other pages (stamps, coins, books, etc), e-mail me at SwapMeetDave@aol.com and I'll set aside the items you want and ship them upon receipt of your check or money order. I also accept Pay Pal (pay to my account: SwapMeetDave@aol.com). Send your order with payment to David Ahl, 12 Indian Head Road, Morristown, NJ 07960. Thank you!
