Postage Stamp Engraving

Do you know the name of this movie?

A scene I saw once in which a con-man was selling, through the mail, engravings of the Presidents mounted in a simulated wood frame. The engraving was a postage stamp and the simulated wood frame was a piece of cardboard with a wood print around the edge. The stamp was stuck in the middle of the cardboard and they got exactly what had been advertised.

Sounds like something they would have done in Matchstick Men, but I don't recall a scene like that. Just a guess really.

Can anyone tell me the value of an old postage stamp?

I have a lamenated ten cent postage stamp from Asheville, N.C. dated August 26-28, 1937. Plate # 21696. In Compliment To The 43rd Annual Convention Of The Society Of Philatelic Americans. Printed By The Treasury Department, Bureau Of Engraving And Printing. Under The Authority Of James A. Farley, Postmaster General.

being lamenateted, you have a nice piece to look at and pass to the kids. As a mint never hinged it still would not have a great deal of value, Scott 979, is only worth .75 cents in the current Brookmans catalog. That is the best you are going to get, in the condition you have, it is more a toy for a small child to keep in an album. Sorry the idea or Lamination was poor then and now.
