The listing, Very Old US 1c Stamp from 1895 with Benjamin Franklin has ended.
Here's another old US stamp-- it's a 1c blue with Benjamin Franklin, I believe Scott number 264 from 1895-- it has part of a watermark. It is in used condition with an interesting postmark with a large "E."

This week it is ALL older better stamps from the USA.
Here's the bigger scoop: My mom and stepdad both passed away over the past couple of years, 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 collected 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!
