Complete set of 25 covers to commemorate 1950 / 1951 Cecil Moore "World Record" Dog Sled Run from Fairbanks, Alaska to Lewiston, Maine through (and across) Canada.

Each cover has attractive matching illustrated cachet and is signed by Cecil A Moore. Also included with the lot is copy of a newspaper article done by a Maine, USA newspaper in 2011 on the 61st anniversary of the run. While single covers pop up sporadically, complete sets are seldom seen. Estimate
