This page contains covers with "Space Master" cachets producted by Robert G. Rank of Union City PA to mark satellite launches and other space-related events. Those covers most often include this logo and/or this logo on the front, and are often numbered either on the front or the back. One Space Master no.0 ("Space-Master A" on back) cover has been found, but the authors have never seen cover numbers 12 or greater, for which we have no information whatsoever. They may not exist.
Blue highlighting is used to identify postal items only of interest for completing this collection of numbered covers, as they are not in the domains of primary interest for the authors.
Readers who know of additional information or images are invited to contact the authors using the e-mail addresses found at the link at the bottom of this page.
