United States of America - Michigan

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 Michigan, lying in the Great Lakes and Midwestern regions of the United States. It was the 26th state, admitted in 1837.

The stamps were affixed by me and come from the Flags of our nations and Greetings series, a stamp commemorating the 150th anniversary of statehood and the Michigan stamp from the 1981 State Bird & Flower series. I sent the envelope to the post office in the capital Lansing to be postmarked. The envelope arrived back with three nice postmarks from USPS Lansing post office. Unfortunately there was also a machine cancellation at the top of the envelope.

Date sent: 4 May 2017
Date postmark: 15 May 2017
Date received: 20 May 2017
Number of days: 16
Envelope in collection: 92
