Item Description
The Claude C. Ries Chapter of the American First Day Cover Society holds a Christmas Party every year for its members. Based around the consumption of baked potatoes, it is known as the 'Yule Tuber'.A cover is prepared every year as a memento for the attendees - this year, for the first time ever, Icelandic stamps were chosen to frank the cover, rather than the customary current U.S. Holiday issue.
•••• Because of a delay in the stamps arriving in the U.S., making obtaining Icelandic cancels impossible, faux cancels were created, mimicking the official First Day of Issue cancels used in Reykjavík. Potatoes were added to the design for extra concordance!
The cachet shows an elderly Icelandic Puffin knitting and over-sized cap and scarf for the Ries potato mascot, in keeping with the hand-knit theme of the Icelandic stamps.
