Grading vintage stamps, First Day Covers (FDC’s) is a subjective process.
As a philatelist, I do my best to put a fair value on items at a bargain price!
I do careful research before listing an item in order to determine an honest price.
I determine the value of vintage stamps & FDC’s by using the Scott Catalog AND by
the age, the rarity, the condition, the country, and the interest of the item’s subject.
Buy with confidence!

Historic Stamps FROM
THE PAST Vintage USA 1956
Commemorative Stamp |

TOPIC |
1956 3¢ Mosaic, AFL-CIO
Headquarters LABOR DAY “Labor is Life” Caryle In honor of Labor Day,
this stamp was released featuring a design from the mosaic mural at the
AFL-CIO headquarters in Washington. The mural, called “Labor is Life,” was
designed by artist Lumen Winter. Congress passed a law in 1894 designating
the first Monday in September as a federal holiday called Labor Day. The
First Day of Issue ceremony was, for the first time, preceded by a dedication
ceremony – both of which took place in the White House Rose Garden. Of special interest: FDR – The Stamp-Collecting President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt’s mother introduced the future President to stamp collecting at a
young age. Throughout his life, he turned to his collection to relax and
unwind. |
