Is This A Piece Of Movie Prop Mail?

If so, then the prop guy is kinda confused about when certain U. S. postage stamps were issued, I think.

Everything is printed on an unsealed, business size (#10) envelope (the image is trimmed).

Note that the date in the "cancel" holds some significance; see below.

I like it...good looking piece of postal stationery!

It could be that the creator of this item knew that 99.9 of the people who look at it wouldn't know if it was from 1862 or 1932.

Gosh..I was one year old then.

Jim, It's possible it was a movie prop. I'm not aware of any movies about Lindbergh that would have been made around the time of the kidnapping or just after it.

You're right about the date, though. That's kind of creepy.

And lastly, if it is a movie prop, they would have had to use something which could pass for a stamp for a couple of seconds of filming. There was also a requirement that it could not resemble any real U.S. stamp, if I remember correctly.

There were actually two TV movies about the Lindbergh kidnapping:
The Lindbergh Kidnapping Case (1976) and Crime of the Century (1996).
Both had great casts and have high ratings in Internet Movie Database, but I doubt you could find them on DVD these days.

Wasn't the first movie stamp on the pacific island during world war II?
