This 1972 First Day Cover features the 8¢ United States Flag over Capitol stamp, postmarked August 29, 1972, at the Philatelic Unit in Syracuse, New York, during the New York State Fair.
The cover commemorates the fair's 131st anniversary (1841–1972) with a colorful cachet promoting the "Superfair" event running August 29 through September 4 in Syracuse.
The special circular cancel from the fair's philatelic station adds strong event-specific postal history appeal beyond a standard stamp issue.
A solid addition for collectors of New York state fairs, U.S. flag topical stamps, or 1970s event covers.
