This Art Craft First Day Cover features the 13¢ Montana state flag stamp from the 1976 State Flags of the United States series, postmarked on the official first day of issue in Washington, DC on February 23, 1976.
Issued during the U.S. Bicentennial celebrations, the 50-stamp State Flags series honored each state's unique heritage and identity as part of the nationwide commemoration of the American Revolution's 200th anniversary.
The cachet illustrates the historic "First Stars and Stripes" scene with Betsy Ross presenting the flag to George Washington and other Founding Fathers, tying the modern state flag issue to the origins of the American flag.
A strong addition for collectors of Bicentennial issues, state topical collections, or Art Craft cachets, this cover remains in excellent condition with a crisp postmark and vibrant cachet artwork.
