This Art Craft First Day Cover features the 6¢ Bunker Hill Flag stamp from the Historic Flags Series, postmarked Pittsburgh, PA on July 4, 1968. The cachet depicts colonial forces in battle with the distinctive flag flying.
The Bunker Hill Flag, flown during the June 1775 battle outside Boston, was among the earliest Revolutionary War standards and symbolized colonial resistance. Though the British technically won the engagement, their heavy losses proved the Americans could stand against trained troops.
The cachet illustration includes the small flag inset and explanatory text noting the fight for possession of Bunker Hill, a detail that ties the artwork directly to the stamp subject.
A strong addition for collectors of Art Craft covers, Revolutionary War themes, or the Historic Flags series, in clean condition with a clear first-day cancel.
