US Stamps from the 1850s to 1930s in a close-up slideshow. About 30 individual mint and used stamps from the first 75 years of US Postal Service as set to Johnny Dodd's "Blue Piano Stomp".

Included are beautiful used stamps including a gorgeous $1 Trans-Mississippi Cattle in the Storm stamp issued in 1898, and a neatly cancelled pair of the 15 cent Large Banknotes printed by the Continental Bank Note Company in 1873.

There are some beautiful mint stamps as well including some Graf Zeppelins (the $1.30 Brown and $2.60 Blue) which were issued shortly after the onset of the Great Depression.

My favorite picture is the #K8 Plate Block 'Shanghai' overprints. It is an extraordinarily scarce item and this one is beautifully centered.
