On October 1, 1986, the USPS issued a stamp commemorating the Ship Figurehead. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, in this case a Proof Card, with the stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Washington, DC) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a beautiful drawing of two figurehead carvings, one of the oldest woodcraft arts, and prominent in America from Colonial times onward. Great art, unaddressed, this cover is a collectible, historic piece of ship and wood carving memorabilia.
Matted in blue, this piece will fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included plus a short blurb on ship figurehead carving***
