Canada Covers # CL3

Laurentide Air Service, semi-official airmail. An attractive use of CL3, used on a First Flight Cover (FFC) from Three Rivers QC to Rouyn Lake QC on January 22nd 1925, then flown onto Larder Lake QC. This short-lived season ended 2 days after the First Flight, with the company’s D.H.9 aircraft crashing on a flight from Larder Lake to Rouyn. Covers carried on this flight come both with the handstamp cachet (as this one does) and without. The covers which bear the flight cachet demand a premium in the AAMC (American Air Mail Catalogue) which has this cover listed as LA2501-CL3 and priced at US$375.00 ($501.00 CDN). 2023 Unitrade =
