On April 14, 1982, the USPS issued a set of 50 stamps with the State Bird and State Flower of all 50 States. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the full-color stamp, depicting the State Bird (Common Loon) and State Flower (Showy Lady Slipper) of Minnesota, cancelled from the city of issue (St. Paul, MN) on the first day of issue captioned above. Note the special cancellation of the bird-flower motif.
The full color cachet (artwork on the envelope produced by a private company, not the post office) shows a pair of Common Loons with the Showy Lady Slipper in the foreground.
Double matted in green & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
