1992 First Day Covers & Certificates NY STOCK EXCHANGE Unusual Collection of 18 1992 First Day Covers & Certificates. A 29¢ postage stamp was issued on May 17, 1992 (my birthday!) to honor the 200th Anniversary of the founding of the New York Stock Exchange. Many non-philatelic (stamp collector) people made First Day Covers with unusual cachets for this stamp. In addition, I applied the new stamp to three stock certificates of defunct companies. Also, I acquired a color test sheet that Keith Harward made to find the most effective colors for his KAH Cachet. Here's what you get in the mini collection: • Four First Day Covers, mass-produced B&W and color printed on standard #6¾ envelope (6½" x 3⅝"). These are Artcraft, Artmaster, Eastern, and Fleetwood. Excellent condition, unaddressed, no marks, no creases, no wrinkles. In vinyl sleeve. • Ten First Day Covers, limited editions, that involved hand painting or special work by the cachet-makers: * Tony Cardarelli Cachets. Original pen and ink (silver point) drawing of bull and bear. Only 37 made. * Richard D. Sheaff, Info Cachet #8. Red and green cachet with informative insert. #35 of 110. * Keith Harward, KAH Cachets. Hand painted with 22 colors as shown on unique one-of-a-kind color test sheet. #3 of 20. * Nancy Ladd Cachet #37. Hand colored original drawing of 3 cats. #24 of 86. * Julian Pugh Cachets. Hand colored on vintage illustration. Lengthy information insert. #75 of 115. * John Ranto. Envelope made from newspaper stock market listing. Possibly 53 made. * RVS (not listed with AFDCS). Probably made this one cover only. Three large dollar signs on pink envelope. #7 of 10. * R. Shuey. Hand painted original drawing. #2 of 10. * Thomas J. O'Hagan, S&T Cachets. Reduced size Railway stock certificate. One of the best! * Wile (not listed with AFDCS). Cachet made from wrapping a Wall Street Candy Bar wrapper around a #6 envelope. #2 of 12. • Fleetwood Maxi Card No. 922-22. Original painting by Shannon Stirnweis with information about the issue on the back of the card. • Pan American World Airways actual stock certificate for 100 shares with postage stamp and FDOI (First Day of Issue) cancel added. • International Banknote Company actual stock certificate for 2 shares with postage stamp and FDOI cancel added. • Twentieth Century Investors actual account certificate with postage stamp and FDOI cancel added.
