Hi All

I have this 'fairly' modern rocket card. This is not my are of expertise but it was among a small accumulation of WW covers I bough some months ago. The back shows a facsimile of an older version of a rocket mail stamp (?)

Can anyone give me more information on this?

Thanks a lot.

I can't help much with the story behind them, but here's a similar cover found on ebay. Apparently the signature (autograph) on the cover is the same, too (Gerhard Zucker).:

They remind me of the V-1 and V-2 Rockets from WWII.

Wow - buy it now for $15.00! I think I paid just a dollar for mine out of a large dealer's box.

I have to admit, I sometimes do hit it lucky.
