The first issue of the 3 cent George Washington stamp came in several colors. It is difficult to distinguish the color differences, but there were pink, brown/rose, rose and lake versions of this stamp.
This particular stamp is in mint condition (unused) and is probably red or rose. See the next stamp for a pink version. The Scott Catalog prices for stamps are meant for perfectly centered stamps that are in very fine condition and the mint backing can not be disturbed by hinges. Obviously this stamp is not centered and it has at one time had a hinge applied to the back. For that reason it is probably worth about 1/4 the catalog value of $125.00. The pink issue in perfect mint condition is worth $14,000.00.
The 1861 issues do not have the grill imprint as do the 1867 issues (see the next stamp posted for an example of grilling.)

George Hamilton was born in Irvine on 7th December, 1917 and had a long, distinguished and successful football career that began at Irvine Meadow as a sixteen year old, straddled the Second World War and ended in retirement at age 38 in December 1955. In his twenty-two year career he won five Scotland Caps and was a member of the 1954 World Cup squad. He made three appearances for the Scottish League and at Aberdeen he won Scottish and League Cup winners’ medals and was a member of the squad that won the Scottish League title in 1954/55.
He began his career in 1934/35 at Meadow Park, where he played for three seasons, but it wasn’t a great period for the club. In fact, they only won one trophy during that spell, with George playing at inside forward in the Ayrshire Charity Cup final as Meadow beat Dalry Thistle 3:1 during his first season.

Dashing American actor George Hamilton (1939) was one of the last contracted Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer stars. He won a Golden Globe for his film debut in Crime and Punishment U.S.A. (1959). Although he has a substantial body of work in film and television, he is most famous for his debonair style, perpetual suntan and jet-setting playboy image.
George Stevens Hamilton was born in Memphis, TN, in 1939. He was the son of Anne Lucille (Stevens) Potter Hamilton Hunt Spaulding and her husband (of four), George William "Spike" Hamilton, a touring bandleader. George's older half-brother, William Potter, became an interior decorator for Eva Gabor Interiors in Palm Springs. Moving extensively as a youth due to his father's work, young George got a taste of acting in plays while attending Palm Beach High School. With his exceedingly handsome looks and attractive personality, he took a bold chance and moved to Los Angeles in the late 1950s. MGM saw in George a budding talent with photogenic appeal. After some guest appearances on TV, he made his film debut as the lead in Crime & Punishment, USA (Denis Sanders, 1959), an offbeat, updated adaptation of the Fyodor Dostoevsky novel. While the film was not overwhelmingly successful, George's heartthrob appeal was obvious. He was awarded a Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer and was nominated for Best Foreign Actor by the British Film Academy (BAFTA). This led to a series of films, including the memorable Southern melodrama Home from the Hill (Vincente Minnelli, 1960), which starred Robert Mitchum and Eleanor Parker and featured another handsome, up-and-coming George (George Peppard). In Angel Baby (Paul Wendkos, 1961), he played an impressionable lad who meets up with evangelist Mercedes McCambridge. In Light in the Piazza (Guy Green, 1962), he portrayed an Italian playboy who falls madly for American tourist Yvette Mimieux to the ever-growing concern of her mother, Olivia de Havilland. He also appeared in such dreary no-brainers as All the Fine Young Cannibals (Michael Anderson, 1960) with Robert Wagner, Where the Boys Are (1960), with Dolores Hart, and Looking for Love (1964). George acted in several biopics - as playwright Moss Hart in Act One (Dore Schary, 1963), as ill-fated country star Hank Williams in Your Cheatin' Heart (Gene Nelson, 1964), and as the famed daredevil Evel Knievel (Marvin J. Chomsky, 1971), a film which he also produced. The rest of the 1960s and 1970s, he rested on his fun-loving, idle-rich charm that bore a close resemblance to his off-camera image in the society pages.
As the 1960s began to unfold, George Hamilton started making headlines more as a handsome escort to the rich, the powerful and the beautiful than as an acclaimed actor -- none more so than his 1966 squiring of President Lyndon B. Johnson's daughter Lynda Bird Johnson. He was also once engaged to actress Susan Kohner, a former co-star. Below-average films such as Doctor, You've Got to Be Kidding! (1967) and The Power (1968) effectively ended his initially strong ascent to film stardom. Hamilton went into television in 1969, supporting Lana Turner in the all-star series Harold Robbins' The Survivors (1969–70). From the 1970s on, George tended to be tux-prone on standard film and TV comedy and drama, whether as a martini-swirling opportunist, villain or lover. He had a supporting role in The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing (Richard C. Sarafian, 1973), starring Burt Reynolds. He produced and appeared in Medusa (Gordon Hessler, 1973). He starred in the TV movie The Dead Don't Die (Curtis Harrington, 1975) and had a supporting role in Once Is Not Enough (Guy Green, 1975) with Kirk Douglas. A wonderful comeback for him came in the form of the disco-era Dracula spoof Love at First Bite (Stan Dragoti, 1979), which he executive-produced. Nominated for a Golden Globe as the campy neck-biter displaced and having to fend off the harsh realities of New York living, he continued on the parody road successfully with Zorro: The Gay Blade (Peter Medak, 1981) in the Mel Brooks tradition. This renewed popularity led to a one-year stint on Dynasty during the 1985-1986 season and a string of fun, self-mocking commercials, particularly his Ritz Cracker and (Toasted!) Wheat Thins appearances that often spoofed his overly tanned appearance. He broke through the reality show ranks by hosting The Family (2003), which starred numerous members of a traditional Italianate family vying for a $1,000,000 prize, and participated in the second season of Dancing with the Stars (2005), where his charm and usual impeccable tailoring scored higher than his limberness. He played flamboyant publisher William Randolph Hearst in the Mini-series Rough Riders (John Milius, 1997), and the best-looking Santa Claus ever in A Very Cool Christmas (2004). In 1989, he started a line of skin-care products and a chain of tanning salons. Into the millennium, he starred with Joe Mantegna and Danny Aiello as as three celebrity tenors in Spanish-British-Italian comedy Off Key (Manuel Gómez Pereira, 2001). He also appeared in the Woody Allen comedy Hollywood Ending (2002), and the satire The L.A. Riot Spectacular (Marc Klasfeld, 2005). The comedy-drama My One and Only (Richard Loncraine, 2009), starring Renée Zellweger, is loosely based on George Hamilton's early life on the road with his mother and brother. The film is based on anecdotes that Hamilton had told to producer Robert Kosberg and Merv Griffin. On TV, Hamilton enhanced several programs, including Nash Bridges, Pushing Daisies, and Hot in Cleveland. He also had a recurring role on the series American Housewife (2016). In the cinema, he could be seen in the political drama The Congressman (Robert Mrazek, 2016) with Treat Williams, the family dramedy Silver Skies (Rosemary Rodriguez, 2016), and the romantic comedy Swiped (Ann Deborah Fishman, 2018). Beginning in the summer of 2016, Hamilton appeared in TV commercials as the 'Extra Crispy' sun-tanned version of KFC's Colonel Harland Sanders. He later played the Colonel on an episode of General Hospital. George managed one brief marriage to actress/TV personality Alana Stewart from 1972 to 1975 (she later married and divorced rock singer Rod Stewart), the pair have a son, actor Ashley Hamilton, born in 1974. Another son, George Thomas Hamilton, born in 2000, came from his involvement with Kimberly Blackford. George Hamilton was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard in 2009

WARBURTON, GEORGE AUGUSTUS, YMCA official, prohibitionist, and conservationist; b. 4 Oct. 1859 in Sandford, Somerset, England, son of Samuel Warburton and Elizabeth Jones; m. October 1881 Louise H. Johnson in Port Byron, N.Y., and they had a daughter and two sons; d. 21 Feb. 1929 in Toronto.
In 1869 George Warburton emigrated to the United States with his parents. The family settled in Brockport, N.Y., where George attended school until, as a young teenager, he abandoned formal education and worked with his father, a blacksmith. Soon after, he experienced conversion and served as a Wesleyan lay preacher on weekends, becoming known as “the boy preacher of Central New York.” Regretting his earlier refusal to continue in school, Warburton, a man of considerable intellectual ability, educated himself by reading widely.
Warburton’s preaching brought him to the attention of the Young Men’s Christian Association and he was sent to Newburgh, N.Y., for secretarial training. His long and varied YMCA career began a few months later with his 1880 appointment as general secretary of the association in Watertown. Warburton’s accomplishments there soon led to a call to Syracuse, where he served as general secretary from 1881 to 1883. During these years Warburton impressed Cornelius Vanderbilt, who was looking for someone to take charge of New York City’s Railroad YMCA. In 1884, at age 25, Warburton became secretary of this association, a position he held for the next quarter century.
Under Warburton’s direction the association garnered widespread support from America’s leading railways without ever becoming “the child of [the] companies.” His efforts on behalf of railway employees included establishment of the Railroad Building and Loan Association. From 1887 to 1908 Warburton’s editorship of the monthly Railroad Men (New York) extended his influence well beyond the state’s boundaries.
By 1909 the board of the Toronto YMCA, which included many of the city’s leading financiers and businessmen, was looking for a man who could oversee a major expansion of work in their city. Warburton’s record as a fund-raiser, his ability to relate well to captains of industry, and his success in attracting strong laymen to YMCA endeavours made him an ideal candidate. About to turn 50, he was persuaded to relocate to Toronto on the condition that the plans for expansion went ahead.
Within a year of taking over as general secretary of Toronto’s Central YMCA, Warburton had helped the association’s directors raise over $685,000, a sum that exceeded their goal and made possible the construction of three new YMCA buildings. When the expanded scope of YMCA work in Toronto necessitated creation of a metropolitan organization in 1911, Warburton was put in charge. That same year he supported the decision of Canada’s YMCAs to declare their independence from the association’s North American organization and establish a separate national entity. In 1913, as the representative of the Toronto body, he was one of Canada’s delegates at the World’s Conference of the YMCA in Edinburgh. While Warburton served as general secretary of the Metropolitan Toronto YMCA, memberships increased by well over 60 per cent and the city’s population by about 40 per cent. The YMCA’s rapid expansion owed much to Warburton’s fund-raising abilities, initiatives in the field of educational programming, and support for the introduction of an employment agency.
Once war broke out in 1914, Warburton volunteered in a number of patriotic causes, including the Canadian Patriotic Fund and Victory Loan drives. In 1918 he was appointed general director of the national YMCA’s Red Triangle Fund campaign. This, the largest appeal the YMCA had ever made in Canada, was carried out across the country over three days in May and raised almost three and a half million dollars. A few months later the Toronto YMCA gave Warburton a four-week leave so that he could, on behalf of the Canadian government, assist in the American YMCA’s campaign to raise $175,000,000 for war work. Less than a decade after his arrival in Toronto he had been selected by the federal government to help “strengthen the good relations . . . between Canada and the United States.”
Warburton’s philanthropic and public service during the 20 years he spent in Canada extended far beyond the YMCA. He served the broader community through his involvement in a range of religious, reform, and charitable organizations. In 1915-16 he had taken a six-month leave from the YMCA to serve as chief organizer of the Citizens’ Committee of One Hundred’s campaign to get the Ontario government of William Howard Hearst* to outlaw the sale of alcohol in the province, a goal achieved in 1916. Warburton was later asked to take charge of the Dominion Prohibition Committee’s federal campaign but, even though the Toronto YMCA agreed to his doing so, time constraints and the “inadvisability of getting involved in political controversies” brought about his withdrawal from this fight early in 1917.
Warburton’s impact on Canadian social norms did not stop when ill health forced him to resign from active YMCA service in 1922. In addition to renewed activity in the prohibition movement at the national and provincial levels, he now took on responsibilities in the fight to preserve the country’s natural resources, putting his well-honed lobbying skills and networking abilities to work in this cause. A lifelong angler and long-time supporter of fish restocking programs, in 1925 he helped found the Toronto Anglers’ Association, which began its operations by sponsoring a survey that documented the ill effects overfishing had already had on one of Canada’s natural resources. By 1927, when he became president of the 2,500 member TAA, Warburton was convinced that the political force of a province-wide federation of anglers was needed to bring about government action and he pushed for its creation. His efforts bore fruit early the next year and delegates at the founding convention of the Ontario Federation of Anglers rewarded him with election as president. Under his direction the OFA called upon the government to hire experts to survey the state of the province’s fish and wildlife populations and advise on necessary conservation measures. By the time of his death in February 1929 Warburton had alerted Ontarians about the need for conservation and mobilized public opinion in support of this cause.

A closer look at the main facade of the home of George Eastman, founder of the Eastman Kodak Company. Eastman is of course known and remembered for his invention of photographic film as we know it today, his marketing genius of putting affordable cameras in the hands of millions, and for his philanthropic support of education, medicine, and music. Even though George Eastman grew up in the Victorian age and also lived as an adult in Victorian houses, when building his own house he turned away from this flamboyance in favor of simple architectural designs that had stood the test of time. Construction on his magnificent mansion began in 1902 when Eastman was 48 years old and was finished in 1905. It was designed by Rochester architect, J. Foster Warner with the Manhattan architectural firm, McKim, Mead & White as consultants on the interior design. The mansion is an imposing Colonial Revival composition of many diverse parts. Broad and rectangular, the three-story structure is adorned with a portico of four Corinthian columns finely carved in limestone, a material used to accent much of the exterior trim. The house is encased in Roman brick, colored white with speckles, which gives the impression from a distance of aged white paint. The fifty-room mansion, with its furnishings, gardens, dairy, orchard, and greenhouses, at the time, cost around $500,000 to build. George Eastman never married so he built his home to suit his particular interests. Being that photography was not only his business but also his frequent pastime as well, he spent years working around flammable films and chemicals so he made sure that his home would be made as fireproof as possible; he had the building built of steel-reinforced concrete. The mansion is located at the George Eastman House and Gardens, 900 East Ave in Rochester, NY.
