US Year of the Dog

As most US collectors know, the USPS issued a series of 12 stamps for the Chinese New Year. This one happens to be from 1994 for the year of the dog. Various cachet makers over the years have occasionally featured a dragon in their design for the first day covers issued in this series. This one is a Bill Norton cachet.

New St. George and the Dragon cover
