This Art Craft official cachet First Day Cover features the 5¢ Sixth International Philatelic Exhibition stamp issued May 21, 1966, in Washington, DC. The cover commemorates SIPEX, the major international stamp show held that year in the nation's capital.
SIPEX brought together collectors and postal administrations from around the world during a period when philately enjoyed broad popularity in the United States. The stamp's design incorporates the flags of the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Italy, reflecting the international scope of the exhibition.
The cachet artwork includes the White House, Washington Monument, and a reproduction of the SIPEX logo with the famous 1869 90¢ Lincoln vignette. The cover is addressed to Robert G. Sullivan in Bound Brook, New Jersey.
A clean, well-centered example ideal for collectors of U.S. commemoratives, exhibition covers, or Art Craft cachets.
