Photo Essay: two Port Vale related first-day covers
In our latest Port Vale photographic feature, we take a look at two Valiants-related postal items….
The background
First-day covers are produced by the Royal Mail to celebrate significant events. First day covers are specially designed envelopes with attractive Royal Mail stamps and pictorial postmarks and two have Port Vale connections.
The first Port Vale cover was produced in 1976 and celebrated the club’s official centenary (this one, the editor’s, has also been autographed by Kenny Beech). The second cover was produced in 1993 and celebrated the club’s first domestic trophy success at Wembley Stadium in the Autoglass Trophy.
You can see them both below. If you want to read more about the Autoglass Trophy final win why not visit our dedicated area
