This First Day Cover commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Pledge of Allegiance, featuring a vibrant cachet with a waving American flag, the original handwritten 1892 Pledge text, and a circular portrait of Francis Bellamy labeled 'Author.' The stamp is the 29-cent 'I Pledge Allegiance' issue (Scott 2593) with a pictorial cancellation. The postmark is a machine cancellation from Rome, NY, dated September 8, 1992. The envelope is in good condition with clear, legible text and artwork.
