11:15 - 11:15 - Cedar III Frankfurt Basel 1920 Airmail Service: What a Fiasco

This airmail service is little known now, and was little known at the time. The southern end of the route had to be Lörrach, in Germany but close to Basel, because of post-war restrictions on German aviation. The service operated for less than two months, and on only 13 days did a plane reach Lörrach. Only about 100 pieces of mail were carried north during the entire period of service, and only about a dozen were carried south.

12:30 - 1:30 - Cedar III An Introduction to German Rural Mail (Landpost) Markings and Cancels A look at markings, cancels, transportation, and other facets of the German rural mail system. Ken Gilbert Record Only
1:45 - 2:45 - Cedar III German Commercial Air Mail 1919-1932 - An Introduction The story of the early years of German commercial aviation is set against the background of post WWI reparations, restrictions on aircraft, and domestic political upheaval. Equally important was the economic instability and the impending hyper-inflation culminating in a new, stable currency in Nov. 1923. Via PowerPoint illustrations of covers, cards and maps I seek to document the development of routes, rates, cachets and other markings - and discuss possible ways of collecting the early history of German airmail. Rudi Anders Record Only
3:00 - 4:00 - Cedar III Germany Philatelic Society - Third Reich Study Group Meeting This meeting of the GPS Third Reich Study Group is open to everyone.   Zoom
4:15 -5:15 - Cedar III Bringing Philatelic Handbooks Back From the Dead Most philatelic handbooks are DEAD.  These gems of philatelic research were printed many years ago. Since their publication collectors needing updated information had to research subsequent books, journals and auction catalogs. This presentation provides a roadmap for capturing the handbooks electronically, updating written content and  illustrations, and making them electronically searchable and updatable.  Part of the updating process uses crowd-sourcing information from other collectors. Revived handbooks will resuscitate specialty stamp societies and provide a new revenue stream. Michael Bloom Record Only

The Battleship Oregon: Berthed at Portland (1925-1942)

For 17 years, the old battleship OREGON was a museum ship along the Portland waterfront, open for visitors and used by different organizations for meetings.  She was a popular attraction in the city, especially for Spanish American War veterans.  During these years, the ship was depicted on various post cards, and also referenced on cachet covers.  A project is presently underway to organize and document covers and material related to OREGON during her years in Portland.  This presentation will show the current status of the project and what has been learned.
