The first of this kind I've seen with such a card.
There are several of a later era (USPS) with a generic cachet on eBay. |

The earliest such first day slogan machine cancellations that I can readily find in my collection are these cancelling the 1 cent, bright blue green, perf. 10-1/2 x 11, Henry W. Longworth stamp (Scott 864) and the 2 cent, rose carmine, perf. 10-1/2 x 11, John Greenleaf Whittier stamp (Scott 865) from the Famous Americans issue (Poets) on February 16, 1940 |

The US pharmacy stamp (Scott 1473) was highly popular with numerous
pharmacy-related companies "sponsoring" first day covers for the issue.
Here's a tidy example from Caswell-Massey Co. Ltd with a nostalgic view of a
pharmacist (chemist) preparing a medicine with a mortar and pestle of the time. |

This CONSTITUTION WEEK slogan cancel was used only in Philadelphia from late-August 1938 through mid-September.
While the slogan hubs are not numbered, they are found used from 10 numbered dater dials.
Issued in conjunction with the US commemorative stamp honoring the 150th anniversary of the US Constitution. |

JeffS, that is one of the funniest, finest FDC cachets I've ever seen. Whoever put that together, especially by including the Franklin, is a creative genius. Thank you for sharing Jeff.

It is $14 in 2022 but since it has not changed for years that says plenty.

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

Back on topic I have very few US First Day Covers but for some reason I have kept this one issued for the the commemoration of the 175th Anniversary of the Bill of Rights in 1966. Interesting that it has a Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania cache but it was mailed from Miami Beach. I guess there was a firm in Miami Beach doing mass mailings for collectors.  |

hdm1950 I found a similar cover listed on eBay which has letter contents which partly explains the cover and The Freedoms Foundation. Try searching the Scott number 1312 in the US Covers category. I am not able to copy and paste the listing using my iPad Miami Beach was the official first day of issue city for the stamp.

I had seen that one before posting this cover but had not scrolled enough to see the contents photo. Mine does not have the insert. They are asking a rather high price and that may be due to having the insert. |

hdm1950 I suppose paying $5.50 for a random FDC with enclosure could be considered a rather high price. On the other hand, to a collector concentrating on that stamp or theme might consider it a bargain. $5.50 sure beats the $19+ that another seller is asking, without its contents.
