The Terminal - John's Park

This postcard is from the State of Oregon (俄勒岡州) from USA. Since it is facing the Pacific Ocean, it is not that difficult to find beaches along the coastal line of the state.

Great that there are five stamps on the postcard! The first one, the green one, features Joe DiMaggio, who is a famous baseball player at US. He even holds some records that nobody breaks until now. The stamp was released in 2012, from a series called “Major League Baseball All-Stars”.

The next stamp is also from 2012, a stamp released to show some distinguished americans. This time they pick José Ferrer, who is a famous actor.

The other three stamps are having similar design. I guess they are all definitive stamps. The first one, the green one, was released in 2003. And it features an american clock.

This definitive stamp—a reissue of the 2003 stamp—features an artistic rendering of the dial, or face, of a banjo clock. Constructed of brass and steel, the banjo clock depicted on the stamp has a painted iron dial and a mahogany case crowned by a brass eagle. This elegant timepiece was made circa 1805 by Simon Willard (1753-1848) of Roxbury, Massachusetts. American Clock is the second stamp in the new American Design series.

The second one shows an American Toleware. And the stamp was released in 2002.

The 5–cent definitive American Toleware stamp features artist Lou Nolan’s painted detail of a black toleware coffeepot decorated with red flowers; purple forget–me–nots; and yellow, green and orange leaves, from the Winterthur Museum in Delaware. Curators at Winterthur believe that it was manufactured in Philadelphia between 1850 and 1875. Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, was the designer and art director for this stamp.

The last one was released in 2007. It shows a Silver Coffeepot.

The sixth stamp in the American Design series—the 3-cent Silver Coffeepot definitive—features an artist’s simplified rendering of a silver coffeepot, circa 1786, belonging to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The coffeepot was made by prominent Philadelphia silversmiths Joseph Richardson, Jr. (1752-1831) and Nathaniel Richardson (1754-1827).
