United States of America - Kentucky

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 Kentucky, lying in the east south-central region of the United States. It was the 15th state, admitted in 1792.

The stamps were affixed by me and come from the Flags of our nation, State birds and Greetings series and the stamp commemorating the 200th anniversary of statehood. I sent the envelope to the post office in the capital Frankfort to be postmarked. It arrived back in just under three weeks with nice, although a bit smudgy datestamps, but again there was a large machine postmark on the envelope form the city of Lexington.
