Nice assembly, although I am curious ... so many of the singles are scissor-cut along the perforations rather than folded/torn, starting with the half cent Franklin as a good example. They look unnatural with some of them having well over 50% of the perforation. |

You are looking at material from 3 generations of stamp collectors (grandma, mom, and myself). Grandma liked plate number singles, and trimmed them with scissors. Mom collected plate blocks and singles, but didn't care for sleavage of any sort on her singles. They both collected subjects they liked, and didn't mind skipping stamps in a series if they didn't care for the design. I would say I've filled in about 1/2 or so of this particular set. |

I think it is great that you have preserved and organized this. Three generations of contributions! |
