Mistral
The cachet artwork features a pixelated Christmas tree with ornaments and gifts at the base, designed in a dot-matrix style. The stamp block includes four 29-cent stamps depicting antique toys: a colorful locomotive, a horse pull-toy, a steamboat, and a fire engine. The circular postmark reads 'KANSAS CITY, MO OCT 22 1992' and includes a four-bar kill cancellation. Additional text on the cover reads 'Happy Holidays' and 'Technical' in the upper left corner.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
