Ken Havekotte Member Posts: 2913 From: Merritt Island, Florida, Brevard Registered: Mar 2001	posted 09-06-2009 07:12 PM The KSC pictorial cancels are 3" long (horizontal) and 1" high (vertical). You can also send any covers you want processed/cancelled with the 40th Apollo 11 anniv. device direct to me as I will be handling much of the philatelic mail for KSC's Merritt Island processing. Also, Chris, I need your mailing address for some complimentary cover shipments that I promised you from a prior cS posting.
ChrisCalle Member Posts: 135 From: Ridgefield, CT USA Registered: Jan 2009	posted 09-06-2009 09:08 PM Ken, that would be great to send the covers to you for canceling - thanks! I have a few questions about how many covers I can send in, etc. Please email me at chris@calleart.com so we can exchange addresses. As a reminder, if anyone would like my father (or me) to sign covers we are happy to do so...

Ken, Thanks for the wonderful cover cancels! All were excellent. Beautiful way to remember the Apollo program. Wish/hope there are 40th Anniversary cancels for A-12 to 17! Don

eurospace Member Posts: 2610 From: Brussels, Belgium Registered: Dec 2000	posted 11-01-2009 03:07 PM ...and here the other one, already mentioned in the previous post: Date: 14.11.09: Serial number: 1642 Place: 10020 Pecetto Torinese (TO); Text: "Giornata della Filatelia/40° Anniv.

eurospace Member Posts: 2610 From: Brussels, Belgium Registered: Dec 2000	posted 07-03-2010 04:05 AM There is one more pictorial cancel commemorating Apollo in Italy, even though it's rather the 41st Anniversary and even though the opportunity to use it rather stems from the Italian Post issuing a stamp to honor astronomer Schiaparelli, the guy who first "discovered" the "canals" on Mars. Now for the details: Date: July 3, 2010 Place: 10121 Torino Centro; Serial number: 1020 Text: “Mostra Filatelica ‘Astrofilatelia è le scienze’" (Philatelic Exhibition - Astrophilately and the sciences) Ill.: Saturn V rocket Send your stamped covers to: Poste Italiane Filiale di Torino Servizio Commerciale/Filatelia, Via Alfieri 10 10121 Torino Centro Italy. Our friend Umberto Cavallaro is behind the cancel, so for cacheted postcards contact him at: ucavallaro@alice.it There are until now two pictorial postmarkers dealing with Schiaparelli directly, which I will deal with in a separate message.
