This Art Craft First Day Cover features the 13¢ State of Oregon stamp from the State Flags of the United States series, issued February 23, 1976, and postmarked in Washington, DC. The cachet depicts the first Stars and Stripes flag with Revolutionary War-era figures, tying the Oregon flag to the nation's founding symbols.
The 1976 series was released during the U.S. Bicentennial to celebrate each state's unique flag and heritage. Oregon's flag, adopted in 1925 and shown here with its 1859 statehood date, highlights the state's pioneer history and natural resources.
A notable detail is the cachet's focus on the Betsy Ross flag design, linking individual state symbols to the broader American story of independence. The cover is cleanly produced with the official first-day cancel and Bicentennial Era inscription.
A strong addition for collectors of state flags, Bicentennial issues, or Art Craft cachets, this cover displays well and represents a key year in U.S. philatelic history.
