The Ultimate Flying Scotsman Tribute
What is a "cachet"? A cachet is a specially designed rubber stamp. It is NOT a postmark. Postmarks can only be applied by official Post Offices where as anyone can design a cachet and put it on their cover. A cachet makes a cover unique and tells its story. In the case of railway covers, cachets are applied to certify that a cover has been carried on a certain train, line or during a special event. Each cover was carried onboard the Scotsman - but not on her glorious homecoming to the National Railway Museum in York, as first planned. She broke down that day! But of course, it is quirks like that which make a cover special and probably another reason why this one sold out at the time. Features the now RARE 17p Flying Scotsman stamp and 2 carried cachets (one documents the break down!). Comes with certificate.
This cover was automatically reserved for members of our Railway Cover Club.
