Bicentennial Stamp marked with Seal Harbor
This is the fourth of four bicentennial stamps. It is marked Seal Harbor, Aug. 5, 1989 and at the top has 1789.1989. It has been used by the post office because it is stained with black ink. It measures 2 and one half by 4 inches and has a label on the front edge in white which reads Town of Mount Desert BICENTENNIAL. There is an oval label on the side which says: Granite State Stamps, Manchester, Laconia, 603.669.9322 and 603.524.9172. There is a hint of ink on the edges of the stamp but the bottom still is quite clear indicating that it may have not been used as much as 009.035.1.
