Alexander Graham Bell 10-cent US Postage Stamp

This item is a vintage United States postage stamp featuring a portrait of Alexander Graham Bell. The stamp is rectangular with perforated edges, typical of early to mid-20th-century philately. The dominant colors appear to be muted browns and off-white/beige, suggesting an aged appearance or a monochrome design. The central image is a bust portrait of Alexander Graham Bell, depicted with a prominent white beard and what appears to be a formal suit. His gaze is directed slightly to the right of the viewer's perspective. To the left side of the portrait, a smaller rectangular inset features the text "ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL" at the top, a large numeral "10c" below it, indicating the denomination, and an ornate, possibly heraldic design at the bottom. The top border of the stamp prominently displays the text "UNITED STATES POSTAGE" in a serif font. The printing quality, while slightly blurred in the provided image, suggests an intaglio or similar printing process common for stamps of this era, characterized by fine lines and deep, rich colors. The perforations around the edges are somewhat unevenly cut, which could be an indicator of its age and manufacturing process. The overall condition appears to be fair to good, with some possible discoloration or toning consistent with age, but no obvious significant tears or creases are discernible. The style is classical portraiture, indicative of stamps issued in the mid-20th century, likely commemorating significant American figures.
