Space Cover 749: Space shuttle cover issued by Fulton Stamp

I bought the above cover many years ago. Nothing special in stamp or cancel. It could be a cover like many others.

Just to be descriptive, printed cachet seems it was previously a hand-drawn design for a space shuttle launch in three colours: black, red and grey.

I stored this cover after scanning with the name STS-8 launch cover issued by Fulton Stamp Co.

Along the years I have tried to get more space shuttle covers issued by Fulton Stamp Co without luck. For this reason I show now this cover.

Any of you know if Fulton Stamp Co designed other space covers linked to the space shuttle or any other space program? Was this cover unique for space topic? Was Fulton involved in any way with STS-8 mission?

As per a short research, any of the crewmembers for STS-8 was born at Fulton.

Please, post your comments or images of other Fulton Stamp Co space covers, if they exist. Thanks.
