This Art Craft cacheted First Day Cover features the 13¢ Delaware State Flag stamp from the State Flags of the United States series, issued February 23, 1976, and postmarked in Washington, DC on the official first day of issue.
The stamp was released during the U.S. Bicentennial Era (1776-1976) as part of a larger effort to honor each state's distinctive flag. Delaware, the first state to ratify the Constitution, is represented by its blue-and-orange banner bearing the state seal and the date December 7, 1787.
The cachet illustrates the "First Stars and Stripes" with Revolutionary War figures gathered around an early 13-star flag, tying the state-flag series to the nation's founding symbols.
A strong addition for collectors of Bicentennial issues, state flags topicals, or Art Craft FDCs, this cover remains in fresh condition with a crisp strike of the Washington, DC postmark.
