Claude

This cover has no cachet artwork — it is a plain white envelope. It bears a USA 29-cent Flag stamp and features two postmarks: a circular hand cancel reading 'U.P. R.R. MAY 1' (Union Pacific Railroad station cancel) and a machine/hand cancel reading 'DENVER, COLO. 80202, MAY 17, 1992.' The text 'ROMPEX STATION' appears printed near the stamp area, indicating this was used at the ROMPEX philatelic exhibition's Union Pacific Railroad station cancel event. Condition appears good with minor toning.

Mistral

This First Day Cover features no cachet artwork, as the envelope is plain. It bears a 29-cent U.S. Flag stamp (Scott #2522) with a design of the American flag in red, white, and blue. The cover has two postmarks: a circular Union Pacific Railroad station hand cancel dated May 1, 1992, and a circular Denver, Colorado, machine cancel dated May 17, 1992. The envelope is in good condition with minor toning, and both postmarks are clearly legible.

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