Mistral
This First Day Cover features a pixelated, cross-stitch style cachet of a Christmas tree with ornaments and wrapped gifts, inscribed with 'Happy Holidays' in bold letters. The stamp depicts a colorful antique toy train locomotive with 'GREETINGS' in red text. The cover bears two postmarks: a circular hand-cancel from Kansas City, MO, dated October 22, 1992, and a machine cancel from New York, NY, dated October 28, 1992. The stamp is self-adhesive, and the cover is in good condition with clear postmarks and intact artwork.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
