This Artmaster First Day Cover features the 1975 10¢ U.S. stamp honoring Haym Salomon, issued in Chicago, Illinois on March 25, 1975. The cachet depicts Salomon seated with quill and ledger alongside a scroll noting “Contributors to the cause during the American Revolution.”
Salomon, a Polish-born Jewish immigrant, played a critical role as a financier of the American Revolution, advancing funds and negotiating loans that helped sustain the Continental Army when the young nation’s treasury was empty.
The Artmaster design includes a portrait of Salomon and a money-bag motif, emphasizing his identity as the “Financial Hero” inscribed on the stamp. The cover bears the official “FIRST DAY OF ISSUE” hand-cancel from Chicago.
A fine addition for collectors of American Revolution, Jewish-American, or financial-history topicals, this well-preserved FDC displays sharp cachet detail and a clear Chicago postmark.
