Sweden 1934 - Crash Mail – Stockholm-Malmö Air Disaster –...

An exceptional, museum-quality 1934 Swedish Air Crash Mail (Crash Cover) complete lot, including the original charred business letter surviving the plane crash and fire. Item Overview: This is an outstanding piece of European aerophilately and crash mail history. Sent on July 6, 1934, from the Import-Export Agency Westerlund & C:o in Stockholm and addressed to Paris, France. The mail was on board the Swedish ABA (Aerotransport) aircraft on the Stockholm-Malmö route when it caught fire and crashed on the very same day. The Lot Includes: • The Charred Cover: Showing dramatic and clear burn markings along the top edge, perfectly stable and well-preserved. It bears a 25 öre Swedish stamp cleanly cancelled with the Stockholm mechanical date stamp (6.7.34). • The Official Postal Label: Applied on the front by the Post Office of Malmö on July 7, 1934, to explain the damage to the recipient. The bilingual Swedish/French label officially states: “Malmö, le 7 Juillet 1934. Cet envois a été endommagé par suite de l'incendie de l'avion de Stockholm à Malmö le 6 courant. La Direction des Postes du District du Sud.” • The Original Burned Letter (Content): A spectacular addition that vastly increases the historical and commercial value of this lot. The letter, typed on the official letterhead of Westerlund & C:o and dated July 6, 1934, shows mirroring burn patterns on both the left and right margins, proving the fire penetrated the envelope during the crash. Historical & Social Context: The internal letter is fully readable and signed in ink by the agency owner, A. Westerlund. It contains a fascinating commercial discussion addressed to Mr. Fauqueux (c/o SAFEP in Paris) regarding 1930s luxury cosmetics and face powders (poudres de riz). It specifically references adjusting color shades (Naturelle, Pêche, Rachel) to match the standards of legendary vintage cosmetic brands like Dorin (Paris) and Richard Hudnut (New York) for the Swedish market. Condition: Excellent historical condition. The charred edges are stable, text is perfectly legible, and the official salvage label is 100% complete and intact. A complete "Envelope + Content + Label" combination from this specific 1934 Baltic air crash is extremely difficult to find on the market. A premier item for any advanced collection of Aerophilately, Disaster Mail, or 1930s Aviation History. I don't combine shippings Following a recent change in international sector regulations, specifically Articles 18 and 19 of the Universal Postal Convention, starting from January 1, 2026, it will no longer be possible to send items (goods with or without commercial value) using International Registered and International Insured services, which will continue to be used exclusively for sending documents. It means that starting from January 1st, 2026, I will ship abroad only by "POSTE DELIVERY INTERNATIONAL STANDARD" starting from 25,80€ without insurance
