This official Interphil 76 First Day Cover features the 13¢ Benjamin Franklin Bicentennial stamp issued June 1, 1976, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Art Craft cachet depicts Franklin as the nation’s first Postmaster General, with a colonial post office scene and the Interphil 76 logo.
Franklin organized the colonial postal system in 1775 and laid the foundation for what became the United States Post Office. The stamp’s map background highlights key Revolutionary-era cities, tying the issue to the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations.
The cover is an authorized souvenir of INTERPHIL, the Seventh USA International Philatelic Exhibition held in Philadelphia that year, making it a documented show-related item rather than a standard commercial cachet.
A solid addition for collectors of Bicentennial issues, Franklin topicals, or Art Craft FDCs, with a clean Philadelphia postmark and attractive red-brown cachet artwork.
