This cachet is by the Postal Commemorative Society.
It features a replica stamp in gold foil on a red velvetish background, along with the name, in this case, Bessie Coleman: Black Heritage Series.
For these cachets, the Postal Commemorative Society uses larger envelopes - not quite business-size in length - of good quality.
On the back flap is the following text:
The authorized gold stamp replica preserved in this cover is produced under a non-exclusive licensing agreement with the United States Postal Service. Stamp design copyright U.S. Postal Service. Cover design copyright Postal Commemorative Society.
(Note that this scan does not show the red of the velvetish background, nor is the gold leaf of the stamp replica as dark as it appears here.) |

This is an +Plus+ cachet.
To me, this illustration resembles a Coleman re-enactor (whose name escapes me at the moment, but she visits schools to give talks about Coleman) rather than Coleman herself.

| The producer of this cachet is Fleetwood.
The caption says that she is the "world's first black aviator." Actually, she was the first black woman aviator - and had to take lessons in France because no pilot school for whites in the US would teach her - and nor would a black pilot's school. (The first black pilot was Eugene Bullard who flew with the Lafayette Escadrille.) |
