Collins Cover Announcement

1984 CHRISTMAS - RELIGIOUS

The more I look at this cover the more I like it. It typifies the traditional COLLINS FDC that spanned the years of 1978 to the close of 1984. The traditional hand-painted cachet to the left. The single with official cancel to the upper right. The additional single with the unofficial cancel to the lower right. And, of course, the unofficial is the traditional COLLINS Christmas cancel -- the lovely Bethlehem pictorial showing wisemen and camels. A nice cover to help end the "early COLLINS" era. Item #Y801 - $5.50.
