Airmail, 1927, 10¢ Lindbergh, final approved design (Scott C10), original hand-drawn art work in ink (203 x 90mm), mounted on card, and signed likely by artist, Extremely Fine, a very rare item. Estimate value $3,000 – 4,000 The 10¢ design shows the start and finish points of the solo, non-stop flight and the 3,600-mile route, which Lindbergh flew in thirty-three and a half hours on May 20-21, 1927. The design was approved on June 3, and engraving began the same day. On June 6 a proof was made, on June 8 the die was hardened, and on June 9 rolls and plates were made so that the next day the issue went to press. As the American Airmail Catalog mentions: “the design was taken from a fine action shot of the Spirit of St. Louis by photographer M.J. Ackerman, who snapped this picture at Curtis Field, Long Island just as the plane left the run-way for a practice spin a few days before the take-off for Paris”. Designers: C.A. Huston & A.R. Meissner; Engravers: Hein, Benzig, Wells and Edward Hill.
