Description: Here is a fine addition to any collection of patriotic covers! The Postal Service got a head start on our nation's bicentennial; on July 4, 1974, two years before the Bicentennial year, the Postal Service issued a block of 4 stamps that depicted Carpenter's Hall, where the first Congress met in 1774, and Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Both buildings are in Philadelphia, where the stamp was issued. The Fleetwood cachets for these 5 covers (4 individual and one block of 4) feature the two buildings, plus Continental Congress delegates Thomas Jefferson and John Dickinson. The envelopes also contain text on the back that give some of the history behind the stamps. Unaddressed and fresh, these 5 covers would be a fine addition to any first day cover collection!
