Pintail by Phillip Crowe

Fred's Anecdotal Note

1993 TENNESSEE

A pair of pintail ducks share a cozy, leisurely swim framed by a floral border of rhododendron. The delicate pink blooms and dark green leaves of the hand-painted cachet are complimented by the sweet white violet wildflower stamp. Against a backdrop of crystal blue water, the finely detailed pintails and the clusters of delicate flowers make this MILFORD a beautiful duck cover.

The thirteen dollar face value of the new stamp makes the Tennessee the highest price of any state, enhancing its collectable appeal. Serial numbers used were 5002 to 5200 except for 5168.
