The Artmaster cachet features a blue and red illustration of Lady Liberty (or a classical allegorical female figure) holding a torch and leaning on a shield decorated with the American flag's stars and stripes. The stamp is a variable rate (PMC) coil stamp printed vertically, showing a patriotic eagle/shield design in red with 'USA' and a denomination of $0.29. The postmark is a standard circular machine cancel from Oklahoma City, OK dated August 20, 1992, with ZIP 73125, accompanied by a machine slogan 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE.' The reverse explains the Postage and Mailing Center (PMC) stamp program and credits Artmaster, Inc. of Louisville, KY.
Mistral
The cachet artwork features a blue and red illustration of Lady Liberty holding a torch in her right hand and leaning on a shield with an American flag design. The text 'Artmaster' is printed below the artwork, along with 'First Day of Issue' and 'Variable Rate Issue' in red. The stamp, located in the upper right corner, depicts an eagle with a shield and a flag motif, printed in red with 'USA 29' in black. The postmark is a circular machine cancel with the text 'Oklahoma City, OK AUG 20 1992' and 'First Day of Issue.' The cover is in pristine condition with no visible damage.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
