SCG9567 - USA 1968 Historical Event Commemorative Cover – Hillsborough Orders British Regiment to Boston (1768), Salvation Army Centenary Stamp
1 in stock
A striking American Historical Philatelic Society cacheted cover postmarked Boston, June 8, 1968, marking the 200th anniversary of the 1768 order by Lord Hillsborough sending British troops to Boston—an event that helped ignite tensions leading to the American Revolution.
The red cachet features an early patriotic allegory with a colonial figure holding the U.S. flag, ships in the harbor, and the motto “We Owe Allegiance to No Crown.”
Franked with the 1965 5¢ Salvation Army Centenary stamp and a 1¢ George Washington definitive, the combination adds both thematic and historical depth.
Neatly addressed, with a sharp circular Boston cancellation, this cover is ideal for collectors of Revolutionary War history, U.S. patriotics, and Centennial thematic material.
