Commemorate the 250th anniversary of our postal system with the Putting a Stamp on the American Experience 32-page prestige booklet, which features an exclusive stamp (two panes of ten) sold only with this booklet.
The stamp features a “reframed” modern interpretation of an 1875 reproduction of the 1847 Benjamin Franklin stamp, one of the first two official U.S. postage stamps. Art director Ethel Kessler designed the booklet and the stamp.
Designed to provide an attractive presentation for this new stamp while evoking more than 175 years of philatelic history, the prestige booklet is illustrated with specially selected stamps and stamp artwork from more than 75 previous issuances, both recent and vintage.
Included in the booklet in two self-adhesive sheets of ten, the Benjamin Franklin stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce rate.
