Item Description
In 1992 the island nation of The Faroes celebrated two of the seals species that call the North Atlantic waters home. Somewhat stylized renderings of the Grey Seal and the Harbor Seal each graced one stamp in the two-stamp set.This early handcolored cachet from the 'Puffin Cachets' line shows a happy Harbor Seal waving the flag of his home turf as waves crash behind him. The envelope was handmade from Mustard Brown paper.
The two stamps are tied by a strike of the official First Day of Issue pictorial cancel of June 9, 1992 that shows two seal heads, drawn by the stamps' designer.
The reverse shows that this is cover #4 of only 5 covers sent to The Faroes for franking and servicing! I think this is the last one I have!
Bid now, and give this cover your SEAL of approval!
