the continuing quest for airmail stationary

[rm]

Did I mention I found some recently in a random stationary shop behind a bunch of other boxes, but it had stains from a coffee cup being set on it and I almost bought it anyway because it was funny?

I'm just mailing another letter to Patty, and as charmed as I am by my light blue/cream stationary, I again had the thought of airmail paper and started Googling.

What's more surreal -- that someone on Etsy actually makes up stationary that vaguely looks like old airmail stationary? Or that I found this on Ebay and my brain is whirring with possibilities. That's a crazy thing to want to get my hands on, right? I donut need a multimedia Torchwood project (also, my illegible scrawl is brilliant for Snape's handwriting in Descensus, but utterly not useful here), but it's fucking genius, right? Anyone want to do a Jack/Estelle epistolary story with me? (yeah, my willpower? less than zero, kids).

aesthetically pleasing, but not the object in question (this obsession is some random and unholy union of childhood nostalgia, my obsession with things passing out of the world, my (admittedly fickle) insistence on historical accuracy and fandom amusement).

Oh!

It's not something like this you are looking for, is it?

Nope, that's an aerogram, which is a different, but related oddity.
