Item Description
United States, Scott #1003, used(o), 1951, Commemorative, 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Brooklyn Heights; in 1776, Washington's efforts to fortify New York City from a British attack led to the Revolutionary War's biggest battle of the war up until that time; it resulted in a crushing defeat of the American forces that left Washington's army cornered at the tip of Brooklyn, surrounded on all sides and with the East River at the army's rear; with no hope of victory, the danger was with a surrender; instead Washington hurridly evacuated his army of 9,000 troops across the river to Manhattan, a decision that saved the Continental Army allowing it to regroup and reconstitute as a fighting force; 3 cents, engraved, perforated: 11x10½, violet, Scott 2019 catalog value: 25¢. Very slightly off-centered, very light, quarter circular, red-inked, double-rimmed, socked-on-the-nose, corner cancellation at the lower left and well clear of the main image, sound back, good perforations; centering and image free cancel warrants a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch;' the stamp you see will be the one you receive.Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.45 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.63 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra shipping expense for the added purchases. I will send the purchase by US first class mail, since the relatively low value of the stamp does not warrant signature or tracking mail. Hence the buyer assumes risk of loss or non-delivery. I will keep a scan of my mailing to verify that the correct mailing address was used.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers' Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
