This is a 1964 New York World's Fair First Day Cover featuring the 5¢ U.S. commemorative stamp issued April 22, 1964, in New York, NY. The Artmaster cachet depicts the Unisphere, a jet aircraft, and a family overlooking the New York skyline with the Empire State Building visible.
The 1964–1965 New York World's Fair was one of the largest international expositions of the postwar era, drawing over 51 million visitors and showcasing American optimism, technological progress, and global cooperation during the height of the Cold War and Space Race.
A notable detail is the cachet's inclusion of a jet streaking past a large globe, symbolizing both aviation achievement and the fair's theme of "Peace Through Understanding." The cover is hand-addressed to Murray Ludmer at 320 Main Ave., Wood-Ridge, New Jersey.
Wood-Ridge is a small borough in Bergen County that saw significant suburban growth in the 1960s. This clean, well-centered FDC with its classic Artmaster design makes an attractive addition for World's Fair or 1960s topical collectors.
