On October 28, 1982, the USPS issued a set of four secular holiday stamps, one of which depicts a Snowman surrounded by several youthful admirers. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the Snowman stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Snow, Oklahoma) on the first day of issue captioned above. If you've been looking at the Christmas First Days Covers in our store, by now you should have become aware of the tie-in between the city of issue and Christmas. Aside from the obvious North Pole, Alaska, Santa Claus, Indiana, and Christmas, Florida, it's always fun to see what US city the USPS has selected and how many different US cities there are with names relating to this special holiday.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a Bi-Polar (sorry...couldn't resist) Snowman/Snowlady beautifully decorated by brother and sister. The producer of this cover has included a brief commentary on Snow and the magic it creates, especially for children. We've made a copy for you.
Double matted in green & white, this piece is sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
