This is a USPS postal stationery card featuring the Mr. Zip mascot as the cachet artwork — a cartoon mail carrier holding a mail bag labeled 'US' and pointing to a banner reading 'Zip Meets Date Station / October 9, 1992 / Washingtonville, NY 10992.' The indicia stamp in the upper right is a pre-printed USA 19-cent American flag design with red, white, and blue colors in a triangular/waving flag style. The cancellation is a pictorial rubber stamp cancel incorporating the Mr. Zip figure and banner text. The card is in excellent condition with no soiling or creases visible, and bears the copyright notice '© USPS 1991' in the lower left.

This First Day Cover features a pre-printed postal stationery card with Mr. Zip, the USPS mascot, as the cachet artwork. Mr. Zip, a cartoon mail carrier with a mailbag, points to a banner reading 'Zip Meets Date Station' with the event details 'October 9, 1992' and 'Washingtonville, NY 10992'. The stamp is a 19-cent American flag indicia in red, white, and blue. The postmark is a pictorial cancellation with Mr. Zip integrated into the design, including the event text and date. The condition of the card is excellent, with no visible damage.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
