| General Description : | American-Made Wigs Originated in Williamsburg, Virginia. Most gentlemen who wore wigs in colonial America had no choice but to have their hairpieces imported from England. The first American-made wigs are thought to have been made around 1700 in Williamsburg. The second stamp in the Craftsmen series depicts a “Bag-Wig” typical of those made by American wigmaker Edward Charlton around 1750 in that city. |
