A REMARKABLE AND EXTREMELY RARE SET OF THE CURTISS AEROPLANE CO. PROMOTIONAL LABELS WHICH WHERE USED TO PRODUCED THE EVER POPULAR COLUMBIA FEBRUARY 1920 AIRMAIL ISSUE.
The Curtiss Aeroplane Co. had a series of 20 labels produced to be inserted into cigarette packs for advertising purposes. Under contract with the Colombian Government, the Compania Colombiana de Navegacion Aerea (SCADTA) arranged to have nine of the labels overprinted for use as Air Post stamps. The designs of the other 10 were deemed inconvenient for overprinting or just not appropriate for use. In all, it is believed the Colombian Government purchased 100 sets and is speculated that one or two of the labels used to produce Scott #C3 were not overprinted.
