Purgatory Post commemorates Paul Revere, Lexington & Concord

New Hampshire-based Purgatory Post last month issued a pair of stamps in its ongoing series commemorating important events of the American Revolution.

On April 18, Purgatory Post released a 7-sola stamp commemorating Paul Revere’s famous ride from Boston to Lexington to warn other American colonists of British troop movements in the area.

On April 19, an 8-sola stamp was issued to commemorate the Battles of Lexington & Concord in which “minutemen” faced off against British forces who were on a mission to seize weapons and ammunition. The skirmishes were the first battles of the Revolutionary War.

The frames of both of Purgatory Post’s new stamps are modeled after the design of the Sesquicentennial Exposition stamp the United States issued in 1926.
