SHOWN HERE IS A GENUINE FIRST DAY COVER, AN ENVELOPE WITH THE NEW STAMP CANCELLED FROM THE CITY OF ISSUE (LYNN MASS.) ON THE FIRST DAY OF ITS ISSUE (SEPTEMBER 15 1991.) IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS IN THE SHOE MANUFACTURING BUSINESS, THIS IS A PERFECT GIFT SINCE THERE IS NO OTHER U.S. STAMP RELATING TO THIS INDUSTRY.
