Catalog #: Scott 2116 Oh say, can you see this striking patriotric collection of vintage US flag stamps! This red, white and blue lot contains a very patriotic collection of 50 vintage US postage stamps from the late 1980s. Celebrate Flag Day, Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, Father's Day and more with miniature stars and stripes! These 22cent US postage stamps were first issued on March 29, 1985, in Waubeka, WI. The dedication ceremony was held in Firemen's Hall. These proud and historic stamps feature a view of the Capitol from about dome height, with the city of Washington and the Washington Monument in the background. A large US flag flying from a flagpole is featured in the foreground, with Abraham Lincoln's phrase "Of the People, By the People, For the People" in three lines of black type to the right and "USA 22" in two lines of black type to the left. Sheet and coil versions were also issued on the same day in Washington, DC. These stamps were designed by Frank Waslick of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing; the typographer was Bradbury Thompson; the art director was Leonard Buckley; the modeler was Frank Waslick; the engravers were Thomas Hipschen (vignette) and Dennis Brown (lettering and numerals). The intaglio process was used. Flag Day was first observed in 1885 in Waubeka when teacher Bernard Cigrand and his students placed a 10" flag in a bottle on his desk, calling the celebration "Flag Birth Day." All of these stamps are cancelled and off of paper. They're in great condition for collecting, trading or crafting. If you're looking for more flags, I have a variety to choose from; please search my shop for 'flags' to see my other flag listings. Not only can these stamps be appreciated by philatelic collectors & enthusiasts, they can also be used for decorative paper crafting, card making, collages, scrapbooking, journaling, jewelry making and more! Sorting and organizing stamps offers endless hours of soothing relaxation for both the young and old. Getting your kids into stamps at a young age will help them to be better organized in the future. Please note the quantity of stamp sets available for this listing. There is more than one set available and the more you buy, the more you'll save on shipping! If you are looking for something in particular please convo me for me details on a custom order.
