Telšiai 1994
A cover sent in 1994 from Telšiai to Tokyo, Japan. The stamp is one of the 4 stamps issued in 1993 to commemorate the Pope. What is surprising about this cover is that despite the year 1994, they still use provisional postmark! I assume it is not the central post office of Telšiai that has used the postmark but some small branch post office. Or, it could be that in some reason, their regular postmarks couldn't be used on that day (1994 may 7th). Anyway, the circumstance remain unknown.

Kaunas 1938
This is a Kowno/Kaunas - Wilno/Vinius FFC(First flight cover) sent in 1938 from Kaunas. Despite the bad diplomatic relation between Lithuania and Poland at that time, some third party country's airlines has linked the 2 cities. The opposite direction flight (Vilnius-Kaunas) has been executed the previous day which was on 15/07 1938. The cover has been sent as Spausdinys/printed matter.
Nice Wilno/Vilnius 2 Lot/airmail arrival cancellation on the back.
