This First Day Cover features a cachet by Technical Cachets depicting multiple historical postal cancellations and meter stamps, including examples from Washington DC (1992), Meadville PA (1957), Charlotte & Kingstree HPO (1964), and an Anchorage AK meter stamp. The stamp is the USA 29-cent National Postal Museum commemorative, depicting an early aviator in flight gear with an early automobile and railway car in the background. The official FDC postmark is a circular machine cancel from Washington, DC dated July 30, 1993 (ZIP 20066). The cachet artwork illustrates the history of postal markings with actual vintage-style cancellation reproductions, and handwritten text reads 'Technical Cachets' at the bottom left.
