Item Description

A nice cover created by the congressional office of Ernest R. Ackerman using his free frank envelope. Ackerman was a serious philatelist.

His Wikipedia biography notes, "Ackerman ... created a number of award-winning exhibits of postal stamps and postal history. He was known for his famous collections of British Guiana and Spain, but he was regarded as an expert in postage stamps and postal history of the United States. His U.S. collection included scarce carrier and local stamps, United States Department stamps, and U.S. essays and proofs. A part of his valuable United States collection was bequeathed to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Postal Museum in Washington, D.C. Ackerman was named to the American Philatelic Society Hall of Fame in 2000."
