This Art Craft cachet First Day Cover features the 13¢ New Hampshire State Flag stamp issued February 23, 1976, in Washington, DC. The cover is part of the 1976 State Flags of the United States series honoring the Bicentennial Era.
The stamp depicts the official New Hampshire flag with its state seal centered on a blue field. Issued during the nation’s 200th anniversary celebrations, the series highlighted the flags of the original thirteen colonies and later states, connecting collectors to America’s revolutionary heritage.
The cachet illustrates the creation of the first Stars and Stripes, showing colonial figures with an early 13-star flag, tying the New Hampshire issue to the broader theme of American independence. The “FIRST STARS AND STRIPES” inscription and Art Craft logo add distinctive period artwork.
A fine addition for collectors of U.S. state flags, Bicentennial issues, or Art Craft cachets, this cover displays sharp postmark detail and clean, original condition.
