1997 - Pacific International Stamp Exhibition

America's first triangular stamps (that would have sent Hyacinth Bucket crazy).  The United States holds a Philatelic Exhibition once every decade.  These stamps celebrate the one held in 1997 in San Francisco.  They feature the mid-19th century modes of getting mail to California - clipper ship and stage coach.  First day of issue March 13, 1997 in New York.Scott # 3130 - 31
