This First Day Cover features U.S.#2426, the 25¢ Southwest Carved Figure stamp and C121, the Key Marco Cat carving airmail stamp.
Members of the Postal Union of the Americas and Spain (PUAS) joined to dedicate an international series of stamps. The series was designed to familiarize the people of the member nations with one another and commemorate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the New World. The first issues honor the Native Americans who existed prior to Columbus' arrival in the New World.
The carved figure on the 25¢ stamp is from the Mimbres, a Southwest Indian culture.
The airmail stamp features a carved wooden figure that was excavated in 1896 in Key Marco, Florida. Known as the “Key Marco Cat,” it’s a ceremonial figure of the Calusa culture, which thrived during the pre-Columbian Mississippian period.
