1928c, Vintage PostcardLindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis" was installed in the North Hall of the Smithsonian Institution's Arts & Industries Building on May 13, 1928.
Almost no edge and corner wear. XF Condition.
Wiki excerpt: charles augustus lindbergh (february 4, 1902 – august 26, 1974), nicknamed slim, lucky lindy, and the lone eagle, was an american aviator, author, inventor, explorer, and social activist. As a 25-year-old u.S. Air mail pilot, lindbergh emerged suddenly from virtual obscurity to instantaneous world fame as the result of his orteig prize-winning solo non-stop flight on may 20–21, 1927, made from roosevelt field located in garden city on new york's long island to le bourget field in paris, france, a distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km), in the single-seat, single-engine purpose-built ryan monoplane spirit of st. Louis. As a result of this flight lindbergh was the first person in history to be in new york one day and paris the next. Lindbergh, a u.S. Army air corps reserve officer, was also awarded the nation's highest military decoration, the medal of honor, for his historic exploit. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, lindbergh used his fame to promote the development of both commercial aviation and air mail services in the united states and the americas. In march 1932, however, his infant son, charles, jr., was kidnapped and murdered in what was soon dubbed the "crime of the century". It was described by journalist h.L. Mencken, as "... The biggest story since the resurrection." the kidnapping eventually led to the lindbergh family being "driven into voluntary exile" in europe to which they sailed in secrecy from new york under assumed names in late december 1935 to "seek a safe, secluded residence away from the tremendous public hysteria" in america. The lindbergh's did not return to the united states until april 1939.
Hi! As usual, i've been out buying great new items for you, the collector!
This item came from a lot comprised of 19th & 20th century covers, US & Foreign. Condition of these were generally better than usual! Still, some of the covers will have faults typical of items that went through the mail during that time. Some will have less wear, and some will have more, so please, view my high quality scans carefully, and form your own opinion of condition.
In many cases, both sides are scanned so you can hopefully see any/all faults. They should be readily apparent. Please look carefully for any edge wear, tears, missing pieces, corners dents etc.
In general, they will be in fine / very fine condition. Additional information upon request. Just message me! Thanks for looking, and thanks in advance for your purchase!
