On August 27, 1979, the USPS issued a stamp to honor Education in America and the legacy of the One Room Schoolhouse. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp with the words 'American Schools - Laying Future Foundations' cancelled from the city of issue (Devil's Lake, ND) on the first day of issue captioned above...the 'birthday of the stamp.'
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope created by a private company, not the USPS) shows a traditional One Room Schoolhouse with a young boy leaning against a tree, clutching his diploma. Collectible, historic, a piece of Americana, this matted cover makes a great gift for any educator.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
