Jim Beckwourth.... On October 18, 1994, the USPS issued a set of 20 stamps called Legends of the West. This stamp is one of those and honors Mountain Man - Jim Beckwourth. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Laramie, Wyoming) on the first day of issue captioned above. In short, it's the 'birthday' of the stamp - a collectible, historic piece of postal and Western memorabilia.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) shows a portrait of Beckwourth.
The company that produced this cover has also written a brief
commentary of this colorful man of The West Jim Beckwourth. Read more
in this included addition to the cover.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY PLUS COMMENTARY INCLUDED***
