Item Description
Since most store-bought Christmas Cards already come with an envelope, it's a bit of a head-scratcher as to why the Market Experts at USPS decided this postal stationery 25¢ envelope was worth producing . . . but it is attractive, and provided a perfect canvas for a hand-drawn and handcolored cachet -- and that's what we've got right here!A personable and well-dressed Snowman stands surrounded by some woodland friends and holds his homemade broom out in a snowy field where someone has conveniently placed a "HOLIDAY GREETINGS!" signboard! The cachet was hand-produced in an edition of 20, and this cover is marked as #3 in that set.
The envelope is slightly oversized - 7 3/8" x 5".
It has a very nice strike of the official pictorial First Day of Issue hand cancel from SNOWFLAKE (how appropriate!), AZ of Sept. 8, 1988. This is the last example in our archives!
Start your Holiday celebrating early and add this FDC to your collection this week!
