This is a postal card (postal stationery) rather than a traditional FDC envelope. The cachet artwork on the left portion features a dark blue silhouette of a one-room schoolhouse with a flagpole flying an American flag. The imprinted stamp on the postal card depicts the American flag in red, white, and blue diagonal stripes with stars, denominated USA 19 cents. The text 'ENCOURAGING YOUNG PHILATELISTS' appears below the cachet design. A circular pictorial cancellation reads 'MILLER PLACE / JUNE 1, 1992 / NY 11764' with 'GRANDPA VOLTZ STATION' incorporated into the cancel design.

Mistral

This First Day Cover features a patriotic cachet with a dark blue silhouette of a one-room schoolhouse and a flagpole flying the American flag. The stamp is a 19-cent preprinted postal stationery design with red, white, and blue diagonal stripes and stars. The postmark is a pictorial cancellation with the text 'GRANDPA VOLTZ STATION' integrated into the design, dated June 1, 1992, from Miller Place, NY. The text 'ENCOURAGING YOUNG PHILATELISTS' is printed on the cover, and the condition appears clean and well-preserved.

(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
