Claude

This cover has no cachet artwork — the left portion is plain white envelope. A machine-applied slogan cancel reads 'GRAND OPENING!' between parallel lines, referencing the Carmichael Post Office grand opening. The stamp is the USA 29-cent Olympic Rings and Flag stamp (Scott #2528 or similar), depicting a waving American flag alongside the five Olympic rings in their traditional colors. The postmark is a circular hand-stamp from 'Carmichael Post Office, Carmichael CA 95608' dated March 27, 1992. Condition is good with minor toning spots on the envelope face.

Mistral

This First Day Cover lacks a cachet but features a machine-applied slogan cancellation with the text 'GRAND OPENING!' alongside a circular, hand-stamped postmark. The stamp is a 29-cent USA issue depicting the American flag and Olympic rings in color. The cover's condition appears clean and well-preserved.

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