Fred's Anecdotal Note

1993 FEDERAL

Airborne canvasbacks viewed close-up comprise the subject matter for this hand-painted MILFORD cachet. The somber tones of the new fifteen dollar Federal stamp were taken into consideration when choosing subdued, complementary colors for the cachet. A fine pictorial postmark ties both stamps to the envelope. Only 175 MILFORDS were produced for this Migratory Bird limited edition First Day Cover.
