Who Were The First Two Men To Appear on US Postage Stamps?
us postage stamp with picture of George-Washington
Postage stamps in the United States were not issued until the mid-1800s. The first two men honored by appearing on the face of a United States postage stamp were George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, two of the most notable figures of the American Revolution. There are enough of these stamps around today that collectors are still able to find them. The first two men on stamps were followed by many other people, from Presidents like Jackson and Lincoln to Abbott and Costello, a comic team.

ReplyDeletethe best way to know what your stamps are worth without laying out any $ is go to the library and check the stamps in scotts stamp catalog. remember this though, when you go to sell yuor stamps, no dealer can pay you for your sentimental value. if you feel the offer is low go somewhere else. if three or more dealers give you approximatelty the same number, you now have a value for your stamps. the rest is up to you.
