A re-scan of an old favorite. This may be the oddest piece of space ephemera I have ever found. It is a stamp album of imaginary space stamps commemorating the planets and the atomic powered intra-solar rocket service that serves those planets. It was intended for "space education" or maybe just a cool souvenir that you could buy your child to keep busy with.
I have gotten a lot of comments over the years since I posted it 13 years ago about the level of art and effort that someone had to execute to draw so many individual stamps. Hopefully this is new to you or you are happy to have bigger and better scans of it.
Levitt, I. M. Intra-Space Stamp Album. Philadelphia: Edward Stern and Co. (22 p.) 1953.
Wow! Neat! Have spread the link around!
ReplyDeleteI found this exact same book in similar condition in my wife’s grandmother’s collection. The only information I can seam to find on it is your posts. Do you happen to know more about it or maybe what it could be worth?
ReplyDeleteMaybe 50$-$100 if you could find someone to buy it. So obscure you would have to know someone already interested in it.
