The listing, Very old US 2c Columbian Expo stamp from 1893 has ended.
Up for auction is another really old US stamp-- it's a 2c brown-violet issued for the Columbus anniversary in 1893. It is Scott number 231. It is in used condition with what seems like a fairly normal postmark for such an old stamp. No obvious faults that I could see.

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!
