Item History & Price
ABOUT THIS FDC The feature stamp on this hand drawn and handpainted, and Strictly One-of-a-Kind add on FDC by BenKraft is the PO's 1960 Saluting theAmerican Woman 4¢ stamp, Scott # 1152, affixed on thiscover in the full Block of 4 format. &...nbsp;About the inspiration for the feature stamp: itwas on June 2, 1960 . . . the exactfirst day of issue date for this stamp . . . whenthe Women's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor hosted a nationalconvention in Washington D.C. to discuss the vitally significant contributions ofwomen to the national landscape. The 2-day convention was officiallycalled "Today's Women in Tomorrow'sWorld." About the feature stamp, itself : Ipurposely magnified the block of 4 stamps here so that you could more clearlyappreciate the all-encompassing theme behind this stamp. The central image, ofcourse, is the bond between mother and child, while surrounding from the imageis ( 1 ) the capitol building with the words CivilAffairs underneath, stressing the important role womenplay in out civil system, including legal issues ( 2 ) books and papers, highlighting women's role in theeducation of children --- tomorrow's leaders ( 3 ) the words Artsand Industry, emphasized with related symbols, the most prominent one being theofficial emblem of the American Medical Association.About this auction bonus : and while we're on the subject of the actual stamps, as I noted in my subtitle, I will send you an actual unused and well-centered The American Woman Block of 4 stamps along with your new FDC. About the hand drawn and hand painted cachet : Mr.Kraft adds to this ultra-special topic, by inviting none other than MickeyMouse and Minnie Mouse onto the philatelic stage, where we see Mickeyprofessing his love for the "woman" in his life with a bouquet offlowers. About the cancellation site : aptlyenough, this cover was officially canceled in WashingtonD.C., where, as noted above, the "Today'sWomen in Tomorrow's World"conference was held. About the Scarcity Factor : please note that this isstrictly a one-of-a-kind piece and, thus, if you should successfully bid on it, then you . . . and you, alone . .. will be its sole owner. All in all, a top-tier cover which actually paved theway for the 1960's Women's Rights Movement.
