My Dad worked on the Apollo missions designing fuel systems. I was actually born on the space coast.

The envelope has a picture of the lander in color. Background is a dark purple almost black with the moon surface yellow with two astronauts. Underneath them it says they come in peace.

REALLY cool cachet I have not seen before... and I don't believe it is in the original Anderson catalog.

That's a rare cachet there for the September release of the moon landing Air Mail stamp.

This is a believed to be rare cachet produced by Reader's Digest for the July 1969 event.
