On September 1, 1970, the USPS issued an imprinted postcard with the imprint - treated as if it were a separate stamp - commemorating 100 years of Weather Services, originally established by the Army's Signal Service in 1870. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, a postcard with the imprint or 'stamp' cancelled from the city of issue (Ft. Myer, VA)) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The black & white cachet (artwork on the envelope) depicts two meteorologists about to launch a weather balloon. Collectible, historic, this cover honors the men & women who devote their lives to keeping us informed of our ever-changing weather.
Double matted in blue and white, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
