Hello,
I am trying to remember what stamp I was looking at recently. It is a US commemorative, I think. It is a revolutionary war type figure and the interesting part was that there was a document tucked in his belt that had writing on it in red letters that I could possibly read (30x?) if I turned the stamp upside down. When I got the time to investigate I couldn't remember what stamp it was. Any help appreciated. Thinking it was a vertical stamp but not positive. Wish I could provide more info. Driving me nuts. Anyone know which stamp I am looking for or run across it themselves? Any help greatly appreciated--Steven

I don't see anything from the Bicentennial era. Could it be a Scott #1826 from 1980?  |

Was it a picture posted on Stamp Community? Or an actual stamp you saw somewhere? Or a picture in a catalogue? Do you remember which country issued it? |

I believe was a US commemorative I pulled out of a packet of used stamps. |

Well, for crying out loud, find it and post a picture because I've gone blind looking at my U.S. Specialized catalog. And I don't see anything like what you're describing... |

Yes, I gave up Kirk, not enough info, I can search on value, colour, and a host of things. Best to leave intrepid to bump into it again whilst he is sorting.
I have done the same thing a few times, it is very frustrating, sometimes it turns out not even the country you thought it was.

OK, US commemorative.
What era, 1890's, 1920's, 1950's, 2000's ?
Remember the value? 3c, 15c, 43c ?
What colour was his hair? Main colour of the stamp? Clothes?
Any thing that stood out to you?
On a horse? Was it a statue? A living man? A painting?
Naked? Sunglasses?
Just trying to jog your memeory.
Where were you when you looked at it? Where you eating or drinking anything? |
