Hello,
How do I tell what kind of grill this stamp has? Any other info would also be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi Katie - Grills were no longer in use when this stamp was issued.

This is a very common stamp - US Scott #300

This stamp was never issued with a grill. It is a used Scott 300, 1¢ green, 1902 issue. Scott catalogue value is 25¢.

You have to admit you have one of the coolest looking stamps. The green just jumps out drawing your eyes to the portrait of Franklin. Old world craftsmanship on a small piece of paper.

So much more to a stamp other than money. :)
