Does anyone have any information on this 1935 Westport Centenary (Westport CT) Cinderella? This falls outside of my area of interest and thought about moving it along to someone who might value it.
I found one online reference which mentions that a single stamp was listed and sold on ebay for around $7 in 2010. This put this sheet north of $300! ( I know it isn't worth anything like that.) Is this stamp mentioned in any of the Cinderella catalogs or lists? Should I list it as a sheet of consider breaking it up into blocks/singles? Or should I just throw it back into the 'pile of odd stuff too good to throw away but not worth doing anything with' box?
Thank you in advance for any input

Thank you for the feedback. I spent many summers as a kid running around Westbrook but have not been back to Connecticut since the 80s. I did poke Westport around Google 'street view' maps but really don't know the street names well enough to be able to identify the older section of town. Here is a 'street view' link to Main street in Westport...

Nice to see a fellow "New Englander" ( part time) on the forums . wt1 article is great ... the area with the bridge , I believe, is "bridge street " which crosses the Saugatuck River . I know I have seen that narrow bridge depicted in that stamp . It is metal today not wood.

The church on the hill is still there . I think it is " Greens Farms Church ".
