Depicted below are just a few samples of available rubber stamp cachet designs that were produced by the Rockwell Space Division Stamp Club (RSDSC) from 1976-86. My firm was able to acquire all of the club's rubber stamps that had been used on earlier envelope covers in commemoration of those specific early shuttle events from that time period. Not only the shuttle, but the Palmdale, CA-based club at the shuttle orbiter production facility created rubber stamps for various Rockwell-related satellite launches, special events, and major spaceflight anniversaries.In addition to the rubber stamp application devices, the well-known philatelic organization, headed by club founder and president Ed Rusinek, also printed up color decal stickers of the same design depictions of the rubber stamp events.  Space cover collectors that are cS members wanting any of the club's rubber stamps to be applied to any of their own blank covers, rather with postal cancels or not, let me know and I'll provide a full list here of available cachet designs. There is no charge for the application service as I would be happy to apply the stamps on any requested mailed-in covers, but a return SASE would be helpful in getting any covers or cards back to you. (For anyone interested in acquiring RSDSC printed decal stickers of the exact same designs as with the rubber stamps, I'll only charge $1 postpaid for any needed sticker. The vintage decals can be affixed by myself to any requested covers or other space items, or if you want, the stickers can be mailed in mint/unused condition.) |
