The cachet features a red illustration of Indianapolis's First Union Station building, a Romanesque Revival structure with a prominent clock tower, rose window, and arched entrance. Text reads 'First Union Station / INDYPEX 94 / Sept 16-18th' in black. The stamp is the USA 29-cent Hudson's General locomotive (1855, 1870), depicting a black and red steam engine on an orange background. The pictorial cancel mimics the cachet artwork showing the same station building in blue/gray ink, with 'INDYPEX STATION / INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA 46225 / SEPT 18, 1994' as the cancel text.
Mistral
This First Day Cover features a vivid red cachet of Indianapolis's historic Union Station, a Romanesque Revival building with a tall clock tower, designed for the INDYPEX 94 stamp show. The 29-cent stamp depicts 'Hudson's General,' a classic locomotive, with '1855-1870' and 'USA 29' inscribed. The postmark is a matching pictorial cancellation with the station illustration in blue-gray, dated September 18, 1994, from Indianapolis, Indiana. Additional text includes 'First Union Station,' 'INDYPEX 94 Sept 16-18th,' and '© Indiana Stamp Club, Inc.' The cover is in excellent condition.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
