    SKU: 15-P-00016

    Lovely set of six cards, 4 mailed and 2 unused.  Third card in first photo is postmarked 1914 and is not marked Chicago so it is likely from a early different air meet (also has a corner chip) but is a marvelous image.  Other five cards are all printed on the front for the air meet.  Mailed cards are postmarked 1911-1912. General condition is very good.  Price is for the lot only; cards not priced individually.
