Organized Labor

American Bald Eagle

Summer 2023 Mail Sale Commentary  

Lot 9 A301 — Organized Labor — Eagle Stamp — 9-1-80

This stamp was issued in Washington, D.C., and a single has the first day of issue cancel from there. An additional single has a pictorial postmark showing a Chesapeake Bay steamer from Baltimore. Organized labor has always been instrumental in moving goods at our various ports.

My hand painted cachet shows a welder and a machine operator. The stamp features an awesome bald eagle. An early Collins.
