Black And White Stamps

I thank you, yet again, Dianne.

Thanks very much.

Please let me know what you collect, though.

1902 8c Martha Washington
I believe this is the first US stamp where the person honored was an American woman.

1902 13c Benjamin Harrison, the twenty-third President of the United States, serving one term from 1889 to 1893.

1902 $1 David Glasgow Farragut (July 5, 1801 – August 14, 1870) was the first admiral of the United States Navy.

Here is Germany 1203, a 1975 Souvenir Sheet. The sheet itself has some color, but the stamps themselves are black and white. The sheet honors three German winners of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Interesting stamps, Lasawbbie. Very artistic portraits.

The three 15c black Lincolns paid the triple rate, for over 1 ounce but under 1.5 ounce, 15c per 1/2 ounce.

Three 1c private die proprietary medicine stamps from John F. Henry on different papers. These various papers are:
a) Old paper, 1862-71. First Issue. Hard and brittle varying thick to thin.
b) Silk paper, 1871-77. Second Issue. Soft and porous with threads of silk, mostly red, blue and black, up to 1/4" in length.
c) Pink paper, 1877-78. Third Issue. Soft paper colored pink ranging from pale to deep shades.



#RS114a old paper --- #RS114b silk paper --- #RS114c pink paper.

Very Nice Stamps guys

I miss working on my collection. I get very little time these days so I try to keep up with at least some of the new here.

Great Warehouse triplet T, don't often get to see the different versions together like this.

I never new there were so many ways to collect stamps.
These are truly great looking stamps and I can see why you want to collect the black and whites.
Are there any black and whites still produced anywhere?

Almost all countries have stopped producing engraved single color stamps. Just Sweden and a few others still produce them.

Here is a playing card revenue stamp produced
by the New York Consolidated Card Company
(#RU14b, silk paper).

Tom, that is awesome! The detail is great!

Thanks for posting!
