AIR STAMPS VALUABLE
There is a keen demand for airmail stamps, especially for those on the mails carried by pioneer Atlantic.flyers like Aleock and Brown, Hawker, Byrd, and de Pinedo. - Hawker envelopes with stamps now bring over £150, and letters without stamps up to £10 each. Mr. H. E. Harmer, the stamp expert, of Bond street, W., said to the "Sunday Dispatch": When the H34 returned from tho United States her letters were stamped in London with a special postmark bearing the inscription- "Hoi." .These stamped letters with the post'■roark row .bring £25 eaeli. • Harry Hawker, the Australian, carried a mail of about 200 letters. The Newfoundland Government over-printed the stamps, and when the letters were later rescued from Hawker's wrecked aeroplane they became of tho 'greatest value to collectors. Aleock and Brown stamps bring up to £40 with the envelope, and tie Pinedo over-printfl airmail stamps about, the same.
