Hello, I decided to try and identify a few of my Washington stamps - wow, so much to learn. Please be kind - I only want to learn and am excited to get my albums so that I can categorize them correctly.

Ok one of the Washington's I pictured looks way off center? I tried to find the exact Scott number and came up with 528 or 528Be? 1920 is the date that seems appropriate.

The other picture with the three - that was truly my first attempt ever to catagorize. Am I on the right track? I looked and looked for the third one - and I could only seem to come up with 1890, 220a? The other two - dang, I am truly not sure - I am thinking 1926-1928 in the 634 or 634 arena. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

I can't see a cap on the left 2 in your photo (it may just be the resolution), so I think that your #220a is actually a #220.

634A has a few extra heavy hairs on the head. That doesn't look likely on the one you list. THere are some other differences I believe, but the hair is a good way to be more confident.

Your photos aren't very sharp. In the future if you have some to show, a scan is highly recommended. We need to see flea sized details sometimes.

Mrita75, perhaps this can help you with your #220:
