This stamp, along with the rest of the National Postal Museum set, was issued in Washington, DC,
at the opening of the museum.  Four First Day of Issue cancellations were available:  two standard handstamps,
one pictorial cancellation labeled “National Postal Museum Station” picturing a boy dropping a letter in a mailbox,
and the fourth labeled “Ice Cream Station” picturing a bitten ice cream bar surrounded by ice
and the words “Good Humor Ice Cream.”  While the ice cream cancellation may seem strange,
Good Humor Ice Cream was at the National Postal Museum opening and has been an avid supporter
of the Smithsonian Institution, including donating to its archives in 1992.

The National Postal Museum opened in mid-summer of 1993 in Philadelphia, PA. Honoring some of 
the most prominent figures and events involved in the development and continuation of the U.S. Postal System 
 include Ben Franklin, who was the first Postmaster General in the U.S. This stamp sheet also features the U.S. 

Civil War stamp, a history-making one-man flight of Charles Lindberg, and an example of some of the 
first versions of personal letters sent to U.S. persons in the beginning of the soon-to-be widespread USPS

Similar to photos. Plate numbers and block position may vary.
Stamps maybe mint, might have minor bends or crease, 
Great for postage, not necessary as collectibles.
