Mexico
20th Century Issues
1935, "Amelia Earhart", 20c. Red overprint, and Official Airmail 40c. Brown, on a very attractive flown registered cover from Mexico City to New York, dated 8th May 1935, autographed by Amelia Earhart and addressed to herself, additionally franked with U.S. 3c. and 15c. postage. Extremely rare. In 1935 Amelia Earhart visited Mexico, and the government issued an airmail stamp for the mail carried on the return flight. Only 300 stamps were issued, and another 480 were overprinted "MUESTRA" as specimens. It is believed that only 35-40 covers were ever carried on this flight. Cert. MEPSI (2025). Scott C74, CO14, $4,000 as a used single off-cover.
