1935 American Rocket Mail
A 1935 stamp commemorating the ' First American Mailrocket Flight ' of September 22, 1935 at Greenwood Lake, New York. The date is a bit off as the actual launch of the rocket didn't take place until 1936. The target of the rocketed mail was the New Jersey town of Hewitt. The results were less than spectacular with the first rocket travelling 20 feet, a second travelled a bit further but ended up crashing onto the frozen lake. But the rocketed mail did make it to Hewitt as the town's postmaster dragged the two bags of mail from the ice to the post office. Other attempts were made but the nationwide implementation of mail delivered by rocket never got off the ground.

Creator Review
Looked great and was perfect for my Nana's 99th it arrived super quick so much quicker than sending the original from the other side of the world! My Nan loved my artwork too and the picture of us inside helped her remember who I was as she has Alzheimer's. Crisp and clear. Bright and colorful true to the original artwork I created. The photo we placed inside also looked great and clear.

This was used as a Mother's Day card and my mother absolutely loved it! The artwork and attention to detail is stunning. It's as if the hare could jump right out of the card at any moment. The print quality and colours are of a very high standard and show the beautiful hare in commendable detail.
