Description

Offered are four first day of issue envelopes with a Project Mercury stamp (Scott #1193) and cancellation at Cape Canaveral on Feb. 20, 1962.  Each envelope measures approximately 3 5/8 x 6 1/2″.  The envelopes were in my father-in-law’s vast stamp collection and have always been in a dry, smoke-free home with no pets.
Please look carefully at the photos, as they are part of the description.  Shown are the fronts and backs of all four envelopes, which are the exact ones you will receive.
Envelopes will be protected by a file folder or something equally stiff and sent in a larger plain white envelope via First Class USPS within one business day of receipt of payment.
