This Artmaster first day cover features the 13¢ North Dakota state flag stamp from the U.S. Bicentennial Era series, postmarked in Washington, DC on February 23, 1976.
Issued during the nation’s 200th anniversary celebrations, the 50-state flag series honored each state’s unique heritage and symbols as part of the nationwide Bicentennial commemorations.
The cachet depicts Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and a soaring eagle with American flags, tying the state stamp to the founding ideals of the republic.
The cover is addressed to E. A. Fickenscher in Erie, Pennsylvania, a common practice among mid-20th-century collectors.
A clean, well-centered example ideal for Bicentennial or state-flag topical collections.
