1936 "Rocket Mail" Covers. Fascinating group of six covers, all from the ill-fated TIPEX (Third International Philatelic Exhibition) 1936 cross-border "Zucker" Rocket Mail project, an extensively promoted and ultimately unsuccessful series of flights. This lot offers excellent examples of material produced during the 1930s "rocket craze". Gerhard Zucker (1908-1985), the rocket's manufacturer, was a very colourful character, as much a fraudster as a rocketeer (an interesting read online for those who are interested). Estimate =
