Adrianne, First of all, what this mail list 0f "Original - 13 ", is all about. It's a place for the descendants of the original 13 German settlers to Germantown, Phila., Pa., who arrived in October, 1683 on the ship Concord, to share their news and views revelant to same. I do not believe it is limited just to descendants, but open to those who think they may be, or interested persons. The German Postal Service and the United States Postal Service issued commerative stamps (showing the ship, "Concord") in 1983, to commerate the 300th Anniversary of the first settlers from Germany to the U.S. The Jpegs are of the U.S. issue. "The First Day Cover" , becomes available on the first day of issue with a special cancellation and is available for a short period of time. Vince, Hope I'm not stepping on your toes.
