On March 22, 1985, the USPS issued a set of four stamps to commemorate Four Duck Decoys - the Broadbill, Mallard, Canvasback, and Redhead. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover with all 4 Decoy stamps cancelled from the city of issue (Shelburne, Vt.) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a full-color drawing of the wood duck, giving you 5 ducks in all. This cover has all the bells & whistles...The entire set cancelled on the first day of issue, great artwork, an unaddressed envelope, not to mention being historic and collectible as well. This decoy set is getting hard to find, especially a cover with the entire set.
Double matted in green & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included as well as a short commentary on decoys and a short commentary on the artist of the cachet***
