This Artmaster cacheted First Day Cover bears the complete set of four 13¢ 'Skilled Hands for Independence' stamps issued July 4, 1977, and canceled on the first day in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The stamps honor the essential colonial trades that supported the American Revolution—seamstress, blacksmith, wheelwright, and leatherworker—marking the Bicentennial celebration of the nation's founding.
The striking green-and-white cachet illustrates period tools and equipment for each craft, perfectly complementing the colorful stamp designs that depict artisans at work.
A fine addition for collectors of Bicentennial issues, American crafts topicals, or Artmaster cachets, this cover remains in excellent condition with sharp postmarks and vibrant colors.
