This Artmaster cacheted First Day Cover features the 5¢ Verrazano-Narrows Bridge stamp issued November 21, 1964, and postmarked at Staten Island, New York on the official first day of issue.
The stamp commemorates the newly completed Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, at the time the longest suspension bridge in the world, linking Staten Island with Brooklyn across the Narrows and dramatically improving access between these boroughs of New York City.
The black-and-white Artmaster cachet depicts the elegant double-deck suspension span with a Staten Island ferry passing beneath, capturing both the engineering grandeur and the maritime setting of the crossing.
The cover is addressed to a collector in Albuquerque, New Mexico, reflecting the nationwide interest in this landmark U.S. infrastructure issue.
A clean, well-centered example ideal for collectors of Artmaster cachets, New York topical FDCs, or mid-century bridge and engineering subjects.
