On April 26, 1990, the USPS issued a set of five stamps celebrating COASTAL AMERICAN LIGHTHOUSES ...West Quoddy Head, Sandy Hook, Cape Hateras, American Shoals, and Admiralty Head. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover for Sandy Hook in New Jersey cancelled from the city of issue (Washington, DC) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) depicts the oldest maritime light tower still in use in the United States. Built by the British in 1764, Sandy Hook was ceded to the newly formed United States by the state of New Jersey. The producer of this cover has written a short commentary of the history of this lighthouse...a copy has been made for you.
Double matted in blue and white, this item is sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
