Item description

Original 1933 Cuban airmail postal cover addressed to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Washington, D.C. The envelope bears two colorful Republic of Cuba airmail stamps—a 5-cent national airmail issue and a 10-cent international airmail issue—together with Cuban postal cancellations and an airplane-themed transit marking on the reverse. The handwritten address is in French and identifies Roosevelt as President of the United States. The reverse carries the important red provenance stamp: “FROM THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT COLLECTION — AUTHENTICATED BY H. R. HARMER INC., N.Y.” This marking documents the cover’s association with Roosevelt’s personal philatelic collection, making it an appealing piece of presidential memorabilia, Cuban postal history, early aviation mail and Franklin D. Roosevelt collecting history. The envelope shows expected vintage wear, including age toning, staining, surface marks, ink transfer, creasing, edge and corner wear, and opening wear. The stamps, cancellations and Roosevelt Collection authentication marking remain clearly visible. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the description. This listing is for the postal cover shown only. No original letter or contents are included. The handwriting is not represented as Franklin D. Roosevelt’s autograph.
