United States of America - Vermont

In my World envelope collection I do not just want to have envelopes from stamp-issuing countries and territories, but also from other regions. This includes the 50 states of the United States of America. This envelope comes from the state of Vermont, lying in the New England region of the United States. It was the 14th state, admitted in 1791.

The stamps were affixed by me and come from the Flags of our nations and Greetings series and the stamp commemorating the 200th anniversary of statehood. I sent the envelope to the post office in the capital Montpelier to be postmarked. It arrived back in two weeks but unfortunately not with a normal Montpelier postmark. Instead I got a special postmark for the opening day of the Vermont Mountaineers baseball team. Positive was that the envelope was sent inside a USPS cover and was accompanied by a nice letter from the Montpelier Postmaster. Vermont is therefore still on the want list for a postmarked cover.
