This 1962 4¢ Seattle World's Fair First Day Cover features the official U.S. postage stamp issued for the Century 21 Exposition, postmarked in Seattle, Washington on April 25, 1962—the first day of issue.
The 1962 Seattle World's Fair was the first major international exposition held in the United States since the 1939 New York World's Fair. It introduced millions of visitors to futuristic concepts in science, technology, and culture, and permanently transformed the city's skyline with the iconic Space Needle.
The colorful cachet highlights the fair's "World of Art" pavilion, showing a stylized globe, classical sculpture, and the modern fairgrounds architecture beneath the Century 21 Exposition logo.
A strong addition for collectors of world's fair topicals, Space Needle memorabilia, or mid-century U.S. postal history, this cover displays fresh colors and a clear Seattle postmark.
