PH $25,000 Incredibly RARE bottom margin example, with characteristic manuscript ‘J.A.R.’ on reverse – initials of Newfoundland Postmaster General J.A. Robinson. These stamps were created to frank the correspondence carried by Lieut. H. Hawker on his Trans-Atlantic flight, the first attempted non-stop flight over the Atlantic Ocean. Only 200 stamps were issued, 18 of which were damaged and destroyed, 95 used on letters, 11 given as presentation copies, and the remaining 76 sold in aid of the Marine Disasters Fund. Fresh, MINT never hinged, especially scarce thus. Fine plus. Makes for an amazing showpiece and undoubtedly one of Canada’s greatest Airpost rarities.
