With the introduction of this series, I hope the United States Postal Service builds this small series into a large series in the tradition of the Transportation Series. These design are striking and beautiful. Quick links: 1c Tiffany Lamp (pane) / 2c Navajo Jewelry (pane) / 3c Silver Coffeepot (pane) / 4c Chippendale Chair (pane) / 5c American Toleware (pane) / 10c American Clock (pane) / Coils (1c Tiffany Lamp, 3c Coffeepot, and 5c American Toleware)

I am beginning to build pages that answer questions about color variations:

• The 4 cent Chippendale has major color differences between the P1111 and the P2222.
• The 2 cent Navajo V11111 from 2004 and the panes received in 2007 during the rate change seemed at first to be so different that there was the possibility of a reprint. A closer examination leads me to think that, although there is some plate wear for the 2007 panes dated 2004, most of the color differences can be ascribed to shifts of the yellow plate, and also to relative shifts of the other color plates.
