1873 - 1877 THE BUFFALO BALLOON MAIL
Spezialkatalog "1873-1877 THE BUFFALO BALLOON MAIL - Including a specialized listing with prices." Hochinteressante Studie von 1979 mit Originalsignatur des Autors Robert SCHOENDORF! The "Buffalo" Balloon Mail (1873–1877) refers to private, pioneering airmail flights utilizing Professor Samuel Archer King’s 92,000-cubic-foot balloon, notably featuring a flight from Nashville to Gallatin, Tennessee, on June 18, 1877. A 5-cent privately issued stamp, or "cinderella," was produced for this flight, often considered one of the first airmail stamps. Rarity: Only about 23 stamps are thought to have been used, and only three covers bearing the stamp are known, making them extreme rarities.
