1935 American Rocket Mail Postcard
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.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
