Sunday Stamps II # 121

Welcome to my contribution to Sunday Stamps.  Spring is really here in the American Midwest.
The theme this week is green.

I have some humble, everyday stamps, from years ago:


However, they sent many many postcards on their way, in the days when it cost a penny to send a postcard.  I have seen many of these stamps.

    Two fantastic classics. I like the contrast between the two styles.

    Classic stamps - I would never have thought of looking for these.

    I wouldn't call these humble! Very nice choice.
    I've often thought it odd that the USPS thought it necessary to add the word 'postage' to their stamps.

    VioletSky:
    Other state and USA stamps were used to indicate taxes had been paid (on alcohol, for example). Maybe that is why.
