This ArtCraft cacheted First Day Cover features the 13¢ Massachusetts State Flag stamp issued February 23, 1976, in Washington, DC, as part of the State Flags of the United States series honoring the Bicentennial.
The 1976 series celebrated the 200th anniversary of American independence by depicting the flags of the original thirteen colonies and subsequent states, highlighting the evolution of the Union from the Revolutionary era through the nation’s first two centuries.
The cachet illustrates the historic “First Stars and Stripes,” showing George Washington and early patriots with the 13-star flag, tying the Massachusetts issue to the broader theme of America’s founding symbols.
A strong addition for collectors of Bicentennial issues, state flags topicals, or ArtCraft FDCs, this cover is in excellent condition with a crisp Washington, DC first-day cancel.
