The British Are Coming!

April 18th marks the famous "Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" in 1775 leading up to the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19th.

There must be a number of philatelic covers commemorating that event, so I'll start the thread off with this one:



Any others?

Bujutsu...A rather Sibylline comment

Are you referring to John, Paul, George and Ringo?






...and if one is going to ride all night
a nice cup of caffeine should do the job.............

Nice cover! I just looked up Howard W. Spurr (Coffee) Co. and came up with his "Paul Revere Album". The guy dabbles in a little of Paul Revere's history and A LOT of Spurr's Revere Coffee advertising. It was probably an effective advertising medium in the 1890's (before television or radio):

Back to a stamp related theme, though, here's a first day cancel for Battle of Lexington and Concord stamps from April 19, 1975:

Excellent research, as usual wt1!

They came in 1778 also..burned Kingston accross the river from us and the Livingstons mansion on our side..well Livingston had to make a decision..he was with us or he was with them !!

i still have a bunch of these left that our club made up way back when...to be correct I better put it under trades !

Hi Rod

I think Liberia prints those stamps to lure US collectors to buy their stuff/ LOL
