Item Description
The First Day of Issue for the 34¢ Year of the Snake stamp also turned out to be the LAST DAY for Socks, Bill Clinton's pet cat during his time in the White House.The cachet on this cover depicts Socks' demise at the 'hands' of a snake on the White House grounds. Poor Socks.
The gruesome image is actually the vignette of a large 6¢ Bufflehead Local Post stamp, which was enjoying its first day of issue on the same day as the Year of the Snake stamp. The U.S stamp received an official FDoI cancel from Oakland, CA . . . the BLP stamp was cancelled with the official device of the BLP in use at Van Nuys, CA.
This cover was specially-prepared for donors to the AFDCS auction, as referenced on the reverse.
An enclosure tells a bit more about the cover and the BLP.
Poor Socks!
