This Art Craft First Day Cover features the 1970 6¢ South Carolina Tricentennial stamp, postmarked in Charleston, SC on September 12, 1970—the official first day of issue.
The stamp commemorates the 300th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement in South Carolina. Founded in 1670 as Charles Town and later renamed Charleston, the colony was established under a royal charter from King Charles II and named in his honor.
The cachet highlights a portrait of King Charles II, a period sailing vessel, and a map showing the original settlement location at the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper rivers, along with the Tricentennial dates 1670-1970.
A strong addition for collectors of U.S. statehood issues, colonial history, or Art Craft cachets, this cover displays clean postmarking and attractive period artwork.
