Description
Three green A. Lincoln one-cent stamps are pasted in the top right corner of the cover of the Abraham Lincoln National Historical Park, Kentucky, souvenir pamphlet. The stamps have been postmarked with a "First Day of Issue" postmark from the Hodgenville, Kentucky, post office dated February 12, 1959, 9:00 A.M. A facsimile Lincoln signature is at the top of the postage stamp above a head and shoulders portrait of a beardless Abraham Lincoln. A large number one with a small lower case letter "c" beside it is in the lower right corner of the stamp.
