I'm moving my "B" countries to this thread from the general "world airmail" thread. |

Here is another one you probably did not expect... 1930 Brazil Condor from May, 1930, #212 in my Sanabria. Later, it may get the number Z1 in Sanabria?  There were three face values for this issue (also a 10,000r carmine and a 20,000r ultramarine), and then subsequent overprints. 12,000 of this value were printed. The condition is not perfect, but I've never seen one before. On cover, sure, they are common on Brazil zeppelin covers; but this is the first mint example I've come across, so until I find a better one, this one will have to do. They were overprinted with USA superimposed over Europe, but you can find examples of each going to the opposite place, and even covers with one "Europa" and one "USA" so it apparently did not mean much. Anyone have others to show? |

1930 Brazil Condor from May, 1930, #212 in my Sanabria. Later, it may get the number Z1 in Sanabria? It is indeed Z1. From the 1972 (last) Sanabria:  It is No. 4CL1 in Scott, which recently began listing the semi-official Brazilian airmails. The stamp's picture is terrible in Sanabria. The last edition of Sanabria looks like it was mimeographed. I'd show you my Brazilian Zepps, but I don't have any, YET! I agree -- Rod is a showoff.  |

In life, one can get into trouble, without really trying. I just did, by omission. This cover is not owned by me, just the image, I collect Brazil, and collect images of the stamps I shall probably never own. So I'll set the record straight. "Not part of my collection" which I should have stated in my original post.  Still. A cracking cover. PS. Great info Ed. |

1939-40 Brazil Airmail - Types of 1929-33 Scott #s: C41 and C42  C41 (on the left) described by Scott as "Allegory: Airmail Service between Brazil and the US". C42 described as "Flag and Airplane" What interested me was the image of what looked like the same rock in the bottom left of each stamp.   You all probably know what this is, but I had to go searching on the web. Figuring it was some iconic landmark for Brazil, searching resulted in finding out that this is Sugarloaf mountain in Gunabara bay in Rio de Janeiro. It is 1,299 ft above the harbor on a peninsula that extends out into the Atlantic ocean. There is a cable car to the peak that was constructed in 1912.

I had no idea it was Sugarloaf mountain, but it immediately reminded me of this stamp from Japan..........  |

Anyone have others to show? I'm going to resurrect this thread and add a stamp I just came across. I know very little about it, but I'm being told it may have a little value. I'd love to hear some input on it. Thanks!  |
