This Art Craft First Day Cover features the 13¢ Arkansas 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, the series celebrated the flags of all fifty states and their unique histories. The Arkansas flag's central diamond and twenty-five stars commemorate its status as the twenty-fifth state and its natural resources.
The cachet depicts the legendary creation of the first Stars and Stripes by Betsy Ross, linking Arkansas's entry into the Union with the nation's founding symbols during the Bicentennial Era.
A strong addition to any state flags or Bicentennial topical collection, this cover remains in excellent condition with a crisp postmark and attractive dual-sided design.
