| Tejas Chapter also had a
show. I got the Post Office (PO) involved by designing a cached postmark to apply to special event envelopes. |

| I designed several cached
envelopes and the PO came to the show and officially applied the special
event postmark on the day of the event. Those envelopes are identified
by the appearance of a number of 05c motorcycle stamps on the envelope
to which the postmark was applied. |

| The PO requires that a
cached postmark be available for thirty days or so after an event for
those wishing to receive the special cancellation post-event. These
envelopes were identified by the application of a US flag stamp. Now
there may have been other people around the country that applied other
kinds of stamps on envelopes to get the special postmark, but these
cached envelopes were Tejas chapter's officially sanctioned cached
envelopes |

| Altogether, there were
between 350~400 envelopes printed for the show with about 185 having the
motorcycle stamps on them. These stamps were the only mc stamps the PO
had produced at the time other than a few on very old Special Delivery
type stamps. |

| Many of the mc stamps are
either "line pair" with a "plate number", or, just a plate number making
them rarer than the ordinary 05c mc stamp. If memory serves me well, I
believe that there was one line pair every ten stamps and one plate
number every thirty stamps. |

of this dated design produced as the special cancellation is retired by
the Post Office after the event and grace period has passed. |
