Great Britain, Scott #489 (Stanley Gibbons #718), used(o), 1967, Celebrating British Wildflowers; stamp shows Morning Glory to the left and Viper's Bugloss to the right, 4 pence, photogravure printed, perforated: 14½x14, watermarked: upright multiple Saint Edward's Crown (Scott watermark #422, Stanley Gibbons watermark #179), no phosphorescent coating, gray, lemon, myrtle green, red, agate, and violet, Scott 2022 catalog value: 25¢, nicely centered, light, black-inked, single-rimmed, three-quarter circular, socked-on-the-nose cancel with almost complete mailing details centered on the lower right corner {STOCKTON-ON-TEES. 6:30pm, 9 MAY 1967, C(O. DURHA)M}, mailed from Stockton-on-Tees in Country Durham on May 9th, 1967, and lifted from the mail box and cancelled at 6:30PM in the evening, Stockton is a market town, inland port and early industrial center on the North Sea in County Durham in northeast England; it has the distinction of being the location of the laying of ‘Rail One’ of George Stevenson's Stockton and Bridgeport Railway, and his ‘Locomotive No 1’ started off from this same location with Stevenson himself manning the engine - the world's first operational railroad, sound back, hinge remnant, penciled Scott identification and valuation marks on the back, good perforations; centering and mailing details cancel warrants a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch;' the stamp you see will be the one you receive.
Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.50 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.66 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra shipping expense for the added purchases. I will send the purchase by US first class mail, since the relatively low value of the stamp does not warrant signature or tracking mail. Hence the buyer assumes risk of loss or non-delivery. I will keep a scan of my mailing to verify that the correct mailing address was used. If not satisfied, return the stamp to me at your own expense, and I will refund the cost, but not my postage to you. If the stamp is not as described, I will refund the cost and reimburse you for postage both ways.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
