The listing, Used U.S. Stamp #1165 4¢ Champion of Liberty Mannerheim-Possible Free Shipping has ended.
On October 26, 1960, the Post Office Department issued two stamps in the Postmaster General's Reception Room in the Post Office Building, Washington, DC. The stamps commemorated Gustaf Mannerheim (1867-1951), "Liberator of Finland." Ceremonies were also held in Helsinki, Finland, at the US Embassy. Mannerheim (1867-1951), a WW II military and political leader, sought his nation's survival in the face of German demands and Soviet threats. A measure of his success is that Finland did not fall behind the "Iron Curtain" after the war. Mannerheim served as president of Finland from 1944 to 1946.
