The GAMM Cachets cachet features a bold red letter 'L' forming part of the word 'LOVE,' with a blue globe illustration replacing the 'O' and a red heart replacing the 'O' in the lower spelling. Small cloud illustrations appear above. The stamp is the 1985 USA 22-cent Love stamp featuring multicolored crayon-stroke brush marks in purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red above the word 'Love' in purple and 'USA 22' in green. The postmark is a circular hand cancellation from Hollywood, CA 90028 dated April 17, 1985. The envelope is in excellent condition with printed text 'First Day of Issue 1985' on the cachet and 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' printed to the right of the stamp.
