Lahm, for a flight lasting 6 minutes and 24 seconds. Three days later, he took Major George O. Squier on a flight of 9 minutes and 6 seconds duration. From this primitive beginning has evolved an air transportation system that today spans the globe. ~Arlington

First World's Postage Stamp

Rowland Hill, Image via Wikipedia

Are you a passionate about collecting stamps?

I would believe so that if you're a collector of stamps, this would be the very first you would like to have in hand before all the rest of beatiful stamps out there! I saw many people on the TV show who are really passionate about their collection stuffs. They could really buy even the most expensive antiques in the world if possible to add on their particular collections. Yes, they are pretty gorgeous treasure! I am wondering if how many collectors out there in the world who has this "Penny Black" stamp? It would be great to hear your comments. Why do you like collecting stamps and do you pass it on to your next generations?

The first adhesive postage stamp that originated from United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was used on May 1st 1840. This Penny Black stamp is not rare but due to its significance, the demand by collectors is more costly than it was. Its estimated value is £3-4000 (mint). The location is in London, UK.

The original sketch of the Penny Black was made in 1839 by Rowland Hill (Alberto Bolaffi, Indepex 97). Find the image on this link http://www.geocities.com/dakshina_kan_pa/art11/penny.htm

Article about Penny Black Posted by Scott Bailey

In the 1830's, mail in the United Kingdom of England and Ireland was paid for by the recipient of the mail. The amount charged for postal delivery was based upon the weight of the item as well as how far it had to travel. Most of the working population could not afford to receive mail from a distance and many just would not accept the delivery. With the proliferation of railways throughout the United Kingdom to support the growing factories during the Industrial Revolution, businesses and government realized that the debt-ridden postal system needed to be reformed.

In 1837 a schoolteacher named Rowland Hill proposed a prepayment system utilizing one cent stamps on postage. in 1839, the British Treasury announced a competition to design the first stamp. None of the submissions were considered acceptable and a portrait of Queen Victoria was chosen instead. The Penny Black was this first, adhesive, postage stamp. The Penny Black has a simple black background with a profile of Queen Victoria in the center, the words "POSTAGE" and "ONE PENNY" along the top and bottom, respectively. The Penny Black was used for just over one year. The postage cancellation mark was in red ink, which was hard to see on the black stamp and also was easy to remove.

The Penny Red replaced the Penny Black in 1841 (utilizing black ink cancellation marks). Since over 68 million Penny Blacks were printed, many have survived and it is not a particularly rare stamp. As with all stamps, however, condition and whether or not it was ever used, determine a stamp's value on the collectors' market. A used Penny Black in poor condition can be found for under 10 Pounds (or 20 Dollars), sometimes significantly less. Just remember that whatever the quality of that Penny Black you own, you are holding an important piece of history that is much more that just another postage stamp.
