Scott C1 C2 C3 – 1918 Jenny Airmail Set – Canceled Classics – Curated Sets Available
The three stamps that launched U.S. airmail service in 1918 remain some of the most recognizable engraved issues in American philately. This curated selection brings together Scott C1 (6¢ Orange), C2 (16¢ Green), and C3 (24¢ Red & Blue "Jenny"), all authentically canceled, each with its own markings from real postal use during the earliest days of flight.
Every stamp in these sets traveled through the genuine mailstream, collecting its own postmark and character along the way. The soft intaglio lines, rich period color, and variety of cancels offer a compelling snapshot of early Air Post history. For collectors who appreciate stamps with purpose and presence, these used examples reflect the exact era they helped define.
Several curated sets are available, allowing collectors to choose the trio that best suits their preferences—whether that means lighter cancels, stronger color, or a specific visual balance between the three denominations. No two sets carry the same postal history, making each arrangement a unique representation of the first C-Series airmail issues.
This offering appeals strongly to collectors of Jenny airmail, engraved U.S. classics, aviation-themed material, and early 20th-century postal history. Together, the three stamps form a foundational group that anchors any serious Air Post or Back-of-Book collection.
