4¢ Alexander Graham Bell (on cover w/First Day cancel date, Brantford, ONT) VF .25 ...
This Canadian stamp shows a picture of Alexander Graham Bell - you know, the guy who invented the telephone - that things that sticks onto your ear for long periods of time. In 1876, Mr. Bell first tested the telephone in Ontario, Canada.
The most expensive stamp to collect is the 10c Alexander Graham Bell. Booker T. Washington as far as I can tell was the first Black American to be honored on a postage stamp. This series of stamps was issued in 1940.
