This Fleetwood cacheted First Day Cover features the 1972 8¢ Dwight D. Eisenhower regular-issue stamp in a booklet pane of seven. The cover is postmarked La Grande, OR on the official first-day date with a clear "FIRST DAY OF ISSUE" cancel.
Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander of Allied forces in Europe during World War II and later as the 34th President of the United States (1953–1961). The stamp's quiet, dignified portrait reflects the nation's respect for his military and presidential legacy during the early 1970s.
The striking red-and-sepia Fleetwood design shows Eisenhower in uniform beside large stylized stars and the word "EISENHOWER," with text noting the "NEW 1972 UNITED STATES REGULAR ISSUE" and "BOOKLET PANE OF SEVEN."
A desirable addition for collectors of presidential topicals, Fleetwood cachets, or 1970s regular issues, this cover displays fresh color and a well-struck cancel.
