| The picture shows a view of all (3) Old Historic Tuscarawas County Ohio One Cent Donation Stamps in this lot. These stamps are not dated but they are old. Apparently someone had donated one cent for each stamp received. The stamps picture David Zeisberger, a Native American Indian Chief, and Ohio's first school house, a one room log building. These perforated stamps are imprinted in black ink on a white paper. They are marked as follows: TUSCARAWAS

TOWARDS REBUILDING THIS PIONEER TOWN The stamps each measure 2'' x 1-1/4''. Please see the picture below for the condition. One has a corner crease, one has some paper loss, and one has some extra paper all as pictured. There is some wear on the backs, but all three have the glue still there. |
