Little bit of a Story behind that stamp
Back in about 1977 or maybe 1979 somewhere around that time frame, my mother called me into the kitchen to look at some stamp, she had received from her mother,,, and the thing that caught my mom's eyes was the mistake of an airplane that was pictured upside down,, and she thought it was a mistake,,,,,
I don't remember much about it, for at that time I was young and could of cared less about stupid stamps,,,, I had girls on my mind and hot rods & drag racing
I remember she told some guy about it, and as I recall he gave her $20.00 for it back then,,,,, and that's all I know & remember about the incident
I remember it was an ugly ol' Double Wing Bi Plane, painted upside down and an old stamp,,, kinda thought at the time it was stupid, its just a Stamp, who gives a flyin Jack if its upside down or not, as long as it will stick on a letter and get mailed,,,,
Wish I had that sucker now tho' !!!!!
This particular incident happened in Kansas City around late 1970's early 1980's,,,,, that's all I remember about it,,,,
My mothers name was Jenny, so she almost kept that stamp as I remember but she opted for the $20.00 instead,,,,
