Gray Squirrel.... On June 13, 1987, the USPS issued 50 stamps to celebrate American Wildlife. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover for the Gray Squirrel. The stamp is cancelled from the city of issue (the USPS Station at the Canadian Stamp Show in Toronto) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet
(artwork on the envelope) features this backyard acrobat who has
encouraged countless professional and amateur engineers to try and
create the perfect 'squirrel-proof' bird feeder. In this picture, the
squirrel's inquisitive nature has been alerted to a backyard insect.
The company that produced this cover has also written a brief
commentary about the gray squirrel, which we've included. If you are
wondering why 'Kentucky' appears beneath the cachet, it's because the
producer assigned each animal in this series to a state where it's
found.
Double Matted in green & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
