Certainly a nice stamp, but I find it interesting how the stamp printer shown at the bottom of the stamp is shown to be Wright Bank Note Co. of "FILADELFIA" rather than "PHILADELPHIA"! |

Thats probably because Filadelfia is the spanish name for Philadelphia. Pretty similar to London which is Londres in french and spanish. |
