This Fleetwood official First Day Cover features the 1975 10¢ '200 Years of Postal Service' stamp, postmarked in Philadelphia, PA on September 3, 1975—the first day of issue.
The stamp commemorates the bicentennial of the United States Postal Service, tracing its roots to the Continental Congress's establishment of a national postal system in 1775 under Benjamin Franklin. The design contrasts a modern semi-truck with a classic horse-drawn mail coach, symbolizing two centuries of American mail delivery.
The large cachet illustrates a dramatic Wells Fargo & Co. Express stagecoach scene, complete with the 'U.S. Mail' designation, evoking the rugged overland routes of the 19th century. The cover is also inscribed 'Official First Day Cover—Philadelphia '76'.
A strong addition for collectors of U.S. postal history, bicentennial issues, or Fleetwood cachets, this cover remains in excellent condition with a crisp strike and attractive artwork.
