Framed Collection of Vintage U.S. Commemorative Stamps – Montana, Oregon, and State Flags
A professionally framed collection of 18 vintage U.S. commemorative stamps, housed in two beveled gilt frames with molded matting. This curated assortment highlights Montana’s statehood milestones, iconic Western imagery, and state flag designs from North Carolina and South Carolina. The collection includes significant stamps such as the 1936 Oregon Territory Centennial Issue, 1934 Glacier National Park stamp, 1939 Montana 50th Anniversary of Statehood stamp, and the 1964 Charles M. Russell issue honoring the renowned Western artist. Additionally, the 1989 Montana Statehood Centennial stamp and Bicentennial Era 1770-1976 stamp reflect pivotal moments in U.S. history.

The smaller frame showcases blocks of four North Carolina and South Carolina state flag stamps, five Montana Statehood Centennial stamps, and four black-and-white floral stamps, likely from the 1980s Wildflowers series. Informational labels on the verso of the smaller frame provide historical context for key stamps, enhancing the collection's appeal to both philatelists and enthusiasts of American heritage.
