This 1963 5¢ Cordell Hull First Day Cover features an Art Craft cachet postmarked in Carthage, Tennessee on October 5, 1963—the official first day of issue for the stamp honoring the distinguished American statesman.
Cordell Hull served as U.S. Secretary of State from 1933 to 1944 under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, playing a pivotal role in shaping American foreign policy during the turbulent years leading into and through World War II. He was instrumental in the founding of the United Nations and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946 for his efforts in international cooperation.
The cachet prominently displays a formal portrait of Hull framed by an eagle and laurel wreath, with text noting his service as Senator from Tennessee and his Nobel award—an elegant design typical of Art Craft’s mid-century FDC style.
A nice addition for collectors of presidential-era statesmen, Nobel laureates, or Art Craft cachets, this cover remains in clean, collectible condition with a clear first-day postmark from Hull’s home state.
