This is a complete set of first day covers for all stamps issued to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations in 1945. There are a pair of stamps each from New York, Geneva and Vienna. (3 cachets)  There is also a souvenir sheet issued from each location(3 cachets).  They are all on official Geneva cachets.  I purchased them when issued and have stored them in glassine envelopes for the last 30 years  They are in extremely good condition and a great add to any collection.   The FDC's you see in the photos are the ones you will receive.


There is an extra bonus in this lot.  In addition to the 6 cachets described above, you will receive an additional 2 cachets (8 total).  The extra cachets have New York stamps and souvenir sheets but possess the RARE San Francisco cancellation (clearly visible on each cachet). While we all associate the United Nations with New York, it was originally founded in San Francisco.  For this occasion, the United Nations Postal Administration set up a special facility in San Francisco and cancelled a handful of the FDC there.  You do not see these coming up for sale very often.  Do not let this opportunity slip by you.


I am not a dealer. I bought these FDCs when issued. I have been the only owner. The cachets you see in the photos are the ones you will receive.
