Get Well & Best Wishes

Fred Collins Signature

Collins Cover Announcement 

SPECIAL OCCASIONS 

"Get Well! - Best Wishes!"

The cachet on this FDC is a wonderful example of the air brush technique - crisp, cheerful and colorful. An array of vivid balloons floats across the face of the cover -- blue, orange, yellow, purple, cranberry, and green. When you see the cachet, imagine each of the inter-twined strings and how each of the six balloons was added to each string via the air brush. It was quite a feat and the result is a cover that is very different from any you'll ever see.

The day-lily "Get Well" stamp is canceled with the Atlanta, Georgia bullseye while the four-leaf clover "Best Wishes" stamp has the First Day of Issue slogan postmark.

You'll really enjoy this light and airy FDC with its bright and buoyant balloons. Charming. Item #I1205 - $7.25.
