This 1970 6¢ Woman Suffrage First Day Cover features the U.S. stamp issued August 26, 1970, in Adams, Massachusetts, marking the 50th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. The cover bears a crisp black postmark from the official first-day city and includes a cachet depicting a 1920-era suffrage campaign automobile with a “Votes for Women” banner.
The stamp commemorates the half-century since American women secured the constitutional right to vote. Adams, MA, was chosen as the issuance site because it is the birthplace of Susan B. Anthony, a leading figure in the suffrage movement.
A notable detail is the cachet’s illustration of an early open-top motorcar used in real suffrage parades, blending automotive history with the political theme. The cover is addressed to a collector in Philadelphia’s 19120 ZIP code area.
A clean, well-centered example ideal for topical collections of women’s history, U.S. commemoratives, or 1970s First Day Covers.
