ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER AMELIA EARHART SIGNED FLIGHT COVERS.

In 1935, famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart paid a goodwill visit to Mexico City, carrying mail bound for New York City on her return flight to Newark, New Jersey. In honor of her visit, Mexico issued an airmail stamp for mail carried on the return flight (Scott #C74), by overprinting its 1934-35 20c Lake "Eagle Man" airmail (Scott #C68a). 780 stamps were overprinted, of which 480 were additionally overprinted "Muestra" and sent to the Universal Postal Union for distribution to postal administrations worldwide. Only about 35 to 40 pieces where ever carried by Earhart to New York City
