Commemorative 37 Stamp Covers Album to Honor American Revolutionary War Bicentennial in Chicago, Illinois For Sale

Price: $45
Type: Art & Antiques, For Sale - Private.

This posh, soft leather three-ring binder contains a collection of commemorative stamp covers recording major events in America's birth. The binder's exterior design depicts three patriots (two drummers and a flutist) marching to their own music while hoisting a 13-star American flag. The title on the outside cover is "American Revolution Bicentennial" which occurred in xxxx.
A stamp "cover" is a special envelope with a graphic on it to commemorate a particular person, place or event. The special envelope correlates to both the USPS stamp (dedicated to hail the event) and the postmark (whose date and place coincides to the same time and place as the original event). For example, one cover is titled "Give me liberty or give me death" to honor Patrick Henry who shouted defiance of English tyranny as he exhorted the Virginia Assembly to action on March 23, xxxx. The envelope contains a graphic of Patrick Henry addressing the full Virginia Assembly. The postmark is dated March 23, xxxx (exactly two hundred years after the original event) from Richmond VA (the same place as the original event), while the stamp depicts a pair of American flags crossed at their stems. The stamp "cover" carries the same theme throughout the envelope's graphic, the postmark and the stamp itself.
Each of these 37 stamp covers gets mounted on its own unique red, white and blue cardboard page which contains a comprehensive written back story of each event. It is as if you get a small piece of art (i.e. the special envelope) to go along with the written story.
Cardboard pages appear in chronological date order and measure 11 X 8 ½ inches. Posh, soft-leather binder measures 11 ½ X 10 ½ inches. In this ad, I include 3 out 37 pictures of cardboard pages with their specific "cover" envelopes mounted thereon.
Everything contained here is in Like New condition. Priced at $45, which means that 37 removable stamp cover envelopes plus 37 patriotic cardboard-thick pages (containing each written back story) cost $1 each, and the posh, soft leather binder cost $8 total. Makes a great coffee table book.
