The listing, Very old US 1c stamp from 1890 with Benjamin Franklin has ended.
Up for your consideration is another really old US stamp-- it's a 1c ultramarine with Benjamin Franklin, I believe it is a shade of Scott number 219 from 1890. It is in used condition with what seems like a reasonable postmark for such an old stamp. No back faults that I could see. Nice condition for such an old stamp!

This week I am listing ALL older stamps from the USA-- if you win multiple bids, they will be sent together.
Here's the bigger scoop: My mom and stepdad both passed away a few years ago, and I've been going through some of their old stuff-- they were both dedicated "savers" of everything. In some ways, I guess they were borderline "hoarders." My stepdad accumultaed stamps, and this is from his collection-- although it's more like a giant pile of messy album pages and envelopes.
I think people should have fun bidding on stuff-- that's what auctions are all about! So the starting bids for my stuff will always be is FIVE credits, and we go from there, no matter HOW valuable something might be.
Thanks for your interest, and good luck!
