On October 19, 2005, the New Zealand Post issued a set of five stamps to commemorate the remake of the movie King Kong, a life-long dream of Peter Jackson. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, in the form of a Maximum Card with the stamp depicting the fearsome Kong, cancelled from the city of issue (Wanganui) on the first day of issue (captioned above.) Note the special postmark created for the cancellation of this stamp on its 'birthday.' In case you can't make it out, it's a gorilla fotprint with the writing forming the outline of the print.
The full-color cachet features a rampaging Kong. If you love Kong, this is a great piece of cinema and postal memorabilia.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
