That worked out so well that they issued a set of postage stamps to memorialize the achievement:
As I recall, there were three of them in the series. But the above was the only one I was able to get when I was a boy over a half century ago . . . and the stamps were almost as old back then.

Now I understand why the stamps are so rare. They only sold less than 200,000 of them TOTAL and destroyed the rest. This was 1930, so only about 7% of the pricey stamps printed were sold. Just wow!
