On March 2, 1986, the USPS issued a stamp commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Republic of Texas. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the stamp cancelled from the city of issue (San Antonio, TX) on the first day of issue captioned above. The addition of four older stamps, which were cancelled along with the San Jacinto stamp on its 'birthday,' make this a Combo - an extra special 1st Day Cover. The four older stamps are Dwight D. Eisenhower (1969), the Lyndon B. Johnson (1973), the Texas Statehood Centennial (1945), and the Texas Republic Centennial (1936.)
The blue-toned cachet (artwork on the envelope produced by a private company, not the post office) features the Alamo.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
