This is an Art Craft First Day Cover for the 1970 U.S. Christmas stamp, postmarked Washington, DC on November 5, 1970. The 6¢ stamp depicts a child riding a high-wheel velocipede, part of the "Toys in the Attic" series celebrating antique playthings.
Christmas stamps had become an annual U.S. tradition since 1962. The 1970 issue highlighted nostalgic toys from earlier eras, evoking holiday memories for collectors and the public during a time when traditional themes remained popular in American philately.
The Art Craft cachet features a charming montage of vintage toys—including a steam locomotive, rocking horse, doll carriage, and tricycle—arranged around a beribboned gift box, with the inscription "Toys in the Attic."
A strong addition for Christmas topical or Art Craft collectors, this cover is in excellent condition with a crisp first-day cancel and attractive green-and-white design.
