My information is, that the labels for the Curtiss Aeroplane Co. were indeed used for advertising. They were included in cigarette packs. Times have changed .......

Sandafayre has a short piece on these Curtiss labels on its website.

The Sandafayre piece says
"With the agreement of the Curtiss Company, eight of the nineteen advertising labels were utilized." Rarely if ever is there mention of 20 labels - possibly due to the very rare C3 without overprint
Apparently only 2 or 3 complete sets of 20 are possible

Hi barhata
Two other books that are rarely available are:
Los Primeros Cincuenta Años de Correo Aereo en Colombia Eugenio Gebauer y Jairo Londoño T. (Spanish and English)
The Air Post of Colombia Eugenio Gebauer (English)
It took me about 4 years to find a mint set of C96-110. I always found one or two items but not the whole thing. One day I saw that Regency had a set and I called them. I made arrangements to buy the set before it went into auction.
Interestingly Ad Postal made a set of FDC's for the CCNA stamps on the anniversary of CCNA(??). I was able to purchase a set of FDC's except for one.

Hi
I mentioned the fact that Ad Postal issued a set of FDC's for the CCNA issues. The year was 1995.
