Stamp Collecting - Cacheted 1st Day Covers - George W. Linn Matted Commemorative Cover
|
|
Stamp Collecting - George W. Linn...
On
September 1, 1923, George W. Linn, an avid stamp enthusiast, designed and
produced the 1st pre-printed
cacheted First Day Cover. Shown here is a genuine Commemorative Cover, an envelope with
the 11/17/72 stamp celebrating Stamp Collecting, cancelled on the 50th
Anniversary if this historic philatelic event from Marion, Ohio - the
city of issue of a 2-cents stamp honoring the late President Warren G.
Harding. The cachet was text only giving Harding's name, 29th
President, and birth and death dates.
The cachet (artwork
on the envelope
produced by a private company - in this case Fleetwood, not the USPS),
shows a photo of Linn with Fleetwood logos in the background and the
following commentary at the bottom, "Pioneered Modern First Day Cover
Collecting with creation of the world's first cacheted First Day Cover
for the Harding Memorial Issue on Deptember 1, 1923."
Double
matted in green and white, this item
is sized to fit a
standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
