In Portland, Connecticut on August 24, 2023, the USPS issued four self-adhesive, non-denominated Presorted First-Class Mail (25¢) stamps highlighting historic to modern engineering architecture. Issued in coil format of 3,000 and 10,000, each coil consists of four designs: Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge (Scott 5808), Skydance Bridge (Scott 5809), Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridge (Scott 5810), and Arrigoni Bridge (Scott 5811, shown below). A horizontal coil strip of four is categorized by Scott as 5811a. This stamp arrived in my mail yesterday on a mailing from the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. These stamps are intended for business mailers and their use requires a special permit and a minimum of 500 letters. The Arrigoni Bridge, locally known as the Portland Bridge, is a steel through arch bridge across the Connecticut River. The bridge connects Connecticut's Middletown and Portland.

tomiseksj - I just received a mailing yesterday with a plate number from this set. These are great designs - a real improvement over many bulk rate or presorts. FYI - your pic is so large that I can’t see the entire stamp on my tablet screen

philatelia, I'm not sure why you're having that difficulty as I can see the entire image on my smartphone.

tomiseksj - this is really weird. But you’re right, It looks fine on my I-phone, too. It is also large on the phone screen, but it isn’t cut off. Must be IOS iPad formatting issue. Thanks for the response. It’s not an important issue so no worries. Edit - hubby says it is because my iPad has a super high resolution screen, and the phone uses a different, lower resolution FYI here’s what I see - it is very blown up

A London icon. Attractive and very special (to me). Tower Bridge as depicted by the Gravure Institute, Paris.
