Venture

Block of 4 on a #6-3/4 (6-9/16" x 3-11/16") unaddressed envelope with a blue cachet of a woman in the dress of ~1870’s. Includes a rather confused drawing of a Mechlin? mesh, and text along the bottom. K. M. C. Venture cachet #426.  “First Day of Issue” cancellation and postmark.

K.M.C. Venture was run by the late Bill Olvey, ad there is a catalog of his work, “Catalog of K. M. C. Venture Cachets: 1977 to 1991” by Thomas J. O’Hagen, published in 1992.  The Venture label is on the bottom of the back of the envelope.
