Vintage United States Postage Stamp Album Selection

This is a collection of vintage United States postage stamps mounted within a printed philatelic album. The collection features a variety of early to mid-20th-century stamps, including definitive and commemorative issues. Notable examples visible include the George Washington 2-cent red stamps, various Benjamin Franklin issues, and depictions of historical events and figures. The stamps exhibit a range of colors from deep carmine and orange to forest green and violet. Some stamps appear to be cancelled (postmarked), while others show no visible cancellations. The album pages are aged, showing significant yellowing and foxing characteristic of mid-20th-century acidic paper. Condition issues are apparent, including several empty spots with residual clear or yellowed adhesive mounts, suggesting previously removed stamps. Some stamps exhibit misalignment or slight damage to the perforated edges. A notable vertical strip of several identical brown stamps is visible, which has been crudely affixed. The craftsmanship of the album indicates a standard hobbyist grade from the era, likely the 1930s to 1950s based on the typography and the specific stamp series present.
