This First Day Cover bears the 13¢ United States flag stamp postmarked November 15, 1975, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The stamp design pairs the historic 13-star Betsy Ross flag with Independence Hall, and the envelope carries the printed "FIRST DAY OF ISSUE" inscription.
Released during the American Bicentennial era, the stamp highlighted foundational symbols of the nation at a moment of widespread patriotic reflection and celebration.
The left-side cachet depicts a globe encircled by envelopes, a classic motif underscoring the worldwide reach of postal communications.
A clean, well-centered example ideal for flag topical or Bicentennial collections, with a crisp Philadelphia cancel and attractive cachet artwork.
