This 1968 6¢ Bunker Hill Flag First Day Cover features the U.S. postage stamp issued July 4, 1968, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a striking Art Craft cachet from the Historic Flags Series.
The Bunker Hill Flag, displaying a red cross on a white canton against a blue field, was carried by colonial forces during the June 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill—the bloodiest engagement of the Siege of Boston and a pivotal early moment in the American Revolution that demonstrated colonial resolve against British troops.
The Art Craft illustration dramatically depicts the battle scene with Continental soldiers and the flag, accompanied by explanatory text noting its role as “the most important battle during the Siege of Boston.”
A fine addition to any Revolutionary War, flag, or Art Craft collection, this cover remains in excellent condition with a crisp Pittsburgh postmark and attractive historic cachet.
