Face Value 10 Cents | 1975 | Scott 1554
Give your mail recipients a history lesson when they open their letters stamped with these vintage black history stamps. First issued by the US Postal Service in the 1970s, this ongoing series of stamps commemorates the contributions to American history by black Americans. Issued in 1975, this stamp honors the contributions of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, who published poems and novels, and who wrote the lyrics for the first all-black musical produced on Broadway. These stamps are a perfect choice for anyone with an interest in history or literature.
Interested in more related stamps to pair with these for postage? Check out our other vintage stamp listings. These stamps can still be used to pay postage on current mail (using additional postage as needed to make up the current first-class rate). All are unused with full gum on reverse; however, due to the age of the stamps, we recommend use of a damp sponge instead of licking the back, or we might recommend using a dab of a permanent glue stick before mailing.
