The ArtCraft cachet features a red single-color engraving of Columbus's ships (the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria) sailing on the ocean, accompanied by a small vignette of Columbus's portrait with a globe, and the text 'Stamp Collecting Day' in script. The cover bears two stamps: a 29-cent World Columbian Stamp Expo '92 commemorative (yellow/orange with text) and what appears to be a classic U.S. Postage stamp depicting a historical scene in blue. The pictorial cancellation features a magnifying glass examining a stamp design, with text reading 'WORLD COLUMBIAN STAMP EXPO '92 STAMP COLLECTING DAY MAY 30, 1992 CHICAGO, IL 60607'.
Mistral
The cachet artwork features a detailed red illustration of Christopher Columbus's three ships (the Niña, Pinta, and Santa Maria) sailing on the ocean, with a small globe and a portrait vignette of Columbus in the lower left. The stamp on the upper right is a 29-cent denomination in orange, commemorating the World Columbian Stamp Expo '92, while the lower stamp is a 29-cent blue stamp depicting Columbus and his crew landing. The postmark is a pictorial cancellation with a magnifying glass examining a stamp design, postmarked May 30, 1992. The text on the cachet reads 'Stamp Collecting Day' and notes it is an official cachet authorized by the World Columbian Stamp Expo '92. The cover is in clean condition with no visible damage.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
