FREE: Used U.S. Stamp #4197 41¢ James Stewart

The listing, Used U.S. Stamp #4197 41¢ James Stewart has ended.

With the 13th stamp in its Legends of Hollywood series, the U.S. Postal Service honors James Stewart, the American film star whose lanky physique, drawling speech, and naturalistic acting style made the characters he played seem "real." Art director Phil Jordan designed the stamp using a portrait of Stewart by Drew Struzan, who based his work on a publicity still for The Stratton Story. The painting on the selvage, also by Struzan, shows Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, the 1939 film for which he received his first Academy Award nomination for "best actor."


The stamp pictured is the exact stamp you will receive. Add this attractive commemorative issue to your collection! It is in fine used condition with a very light cancel and I have removed all traces of adhesive from the back. It takes about 5 minutes to do this (gently and carefully) so I only do it for the nicer issues which have non-water soluble adhesives. If you think about it...it would take me an hour just to work on 12 stamps. But the result is a very nice clean stamp. Free shipping worldwide!
