3-Cent George Washington Bicentennial Postage Stamp

This item is a 3-cent United States postage stamp featuring the portrait of George Washington. The stamp is printed in a deep purple or reddish-brown hue and depicts a solemn-faced George Washington in profile, facing slightly left, against a darker background. He is shown with his characteristic powdered wig and period attire. The portrait is framed by an ornate rectangular border with decorative scrollwork elements on the sides and top corners. Above Washington's head, in an arched banner, are the words "UNITED STATES POSTAGE." Below the portrait, on a horizontal banner, the name "WASHINGTON" is clearly visible. In the bottom left and right corners, within circular or oval elements, the denomination "3" is present. The stamp appears to be perforated along all four edges, indicating it was intended for postal use. The condition of the stamp shows some signs of age, with slight discoloration or foxing visible, particularly on the edges and background. There are no obvious tears or significant creases, but it might be slightly toned. The perforations appear mostly intact, though some might be flattened or show minor wear. The image resolution suggests it is mounted in an album or display, as part of another piece of paper is visible above it. Based on its appearance and denomination, this stamp is likely from the early 20th century, possibly the George Washington Bicentennial issue of 1932, a common and widely collected series.
