This is a plain white postal card with no cachet artwork. The stamp is a pre-printed USA 19-cent Flag stamp (stylized American flag in red, white, and blue with stars and stripes) printed directly on the card. The cancellation is a circular hand stamp reading 'MIDLAND & DURANO STA.' with dates 'MAY 2 & 3 1992' and 'TR 1&2 R.P.O.', accompanied by an RMS (Railway Mail Service) machine cancel with horizontal wavy lines and a diamond-shaped ornament. The mailing address area shows 'SAGINAW, MI 48605' and a copyright mark '© USPS 1991' appears in the lower left.
Mistral
A 19-cent postal stationery card featuring an American flag stamp. The stamp is cancelled with a circular hand stamp from the Midland & Durand Station, dated May 2-3, 1992, and a machine cancel from Railway Mail Service (RMS) with 'TR 1 & 2 R.P.O.' markings. The card is in good condition with clear postmark details and is addressed to Saginaw, Michigan. There is no specific cachet artwork on the envelope.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
