This is an official Art Craft first day cover for the 13¢ State of Oregon flag stamp issued February 23, 1976, in Washington, DC. The cover features the colorful Oregon state flag with its 1859 date and central seal, part of the popular 50-stamp State Flags series released during the American Bicentennial.
The 1976 State Flags issue celebrated the nation's 200th anniversary by honoring each state's unique banner. Oregon's flag, adopted in 1925, is notable as the only U.S. state flag with different designs on the obverse and reverse.
The cachet depicts the "First Stars and Stripes" scene with colonial figures and the early 13-star flag, tying the state flag series to America's revolutionary origins.
A fine addition for collectors of Bicentennial issues, state flags topicals, or Art Craft cachets, with sharp postmark and clean condition.
