Here is a hand-drawn cachet for the resumption of sales of 3.2% beer, although the date is somewhat suspect:



The Cullen-Harrison Act, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 22, 1933, authorized the sale of 3.2% beer (thought to be too low an alcohol concentration to be intoxicating) and wine, with the first legal beer sales since the beginning of Prohibition on January 16, 1920.

This cover also illustrates the 8c airmail rate in effect for only two years, July 1932 to July 1934. Previously, the 1-ounce rate had been 5c; I have never been able to discover the reasoning behind raising the rate 60% during the Depression.

Here is an image of a stamp depicting an imbiber in Lower Austria, designed by Austrian artist Georg Jung (1899-1957), printed by typography, and issued by Austria on July 15, 1935, Scott No. 372. Nice beanie!
