"H" Stamp

Uncle Sam's Hat

This was the non-denominated first class stamp that the Postal Service had ready for the rate change from thirty-two cents. The hand painted cachet is a great patriotic with Uncle Sam and Miss Liberty. The Uncle Sam figure is based on those done by J. M. Flagg prior to and during World War I. He is best remembered for the recruiting poster "I WANT You."

Amber waves of grain, purple mountains majesty, and a Shining sea bring the America the Beautiful theme to this cachet. An eagle and American flag complete the patriotic flavor of this cover, and I feel that in the months and years ahead this will be an excellent item to own. Flags and patriotics are popular topicals, and this Uncle Sam's Hat cachet will be enjoyed by everyone. Item #V2901 - $12.25.
