I've already shown these stamps, but here's a nice postmark on the FDC set.

uncadonego - A most impressive maritime display!

Here is an image of the Clipper Ship stamp from the U.S. Merchant Marine "Forever" commemorative stamps printed by photogravure (Avery Dennison) and issued by the USA on July 28, 2011 in a pane of 20 stamps, Scott numbers not yet assigned. The Clipper Ship stamp is based on an undated lithograph by American artist and illustrator Frank Vining Smith (1879-1967) of the famous clipper Sovereign of the Seas, which was launched in 1852. Clipper ships, ushered in by the California Gold Rush of 1849 and noted for their streamlined shape and their majestic cloud of square-rigged sails, set numerous speed records in their time.

Thought I'd contribute this one I came across recently ...

I think this counts as a sailing ship of yesteryear ...?

Papa Mig · **Posted:** Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:40:13 pm

This one certainly does.

These recent contributions of mine all have the additional benefit of being engraved stamps, which particularly endears them to me.

Really nice ones Papa Mig

Already posted on page 2, but since I just ran across this in an envelope I just went through, I thought I'd post it in full 855. Needs a nice cleaning and pressing.

Hello,uncadonego,

All the South African stamp needs is a little TLC!

Here, from me, is another one from a set of four (another posted just recently, above). Feel the swell! And, incidentally, check out the little fish in the bottom right-hand corner.
