United States 10 Cent Flag Definitive Postage Stamps, Strip of 6

This item is a strip of six conjoined United States definitive postage stamps, each with a face value of 10 cents. The design on each stamp features two crossed American flags, rendered in red, white, and blue, with poles in black. Below the flags, the denomination '10c' is prominently displayed in blue, flanked by 'UNITED' on the left and 'STATES' (partially obscured on some stamps) on the right, also in blue. The stamps are perforated on all four sides, indicating they are designed to be separated from a larger sheet. The perforations appear relatively clean and intact. Each stamp also bears what appears to be a black cancellation mark, a series of horizontal lines with small semi-circular elements, suggesting they have been postally used or canceled-to-order. The condition of the stamps is fair to good; there are some visible signs of wear, potentially light creasing or handling marks on the paper, and the cancellation marks are distinct but do not obscure the main design. The stamps are attached to what appears to be a backing paper or a portion of an envelope with a diagonal striped pattern, which suggests they might be part of a collection on an album page or still attached to original postal material. The colors remain vibrant for the age, suggesting decent preservation. Based on the 10-cent denomination and the flag design, these stamps are likely from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1970s, as 10 cents was a common first-class postage rate during that period. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced postage stamps, with clear printing and precise perforations.
