On May 8, 1971, the USPS issued a stamp commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Statehood of Missouri. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Independence, MO) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The black & white cachet (artwork on the envelope produced by a private company, not the post office) features the Arch, symbolizing the Gateway to the West, and a Steamboat.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
