The Postal Dog Sheet of 20 Forever Stamps Scott 4547

Product Description :

With this stamp, the U.
S.
Postal Service commemo­rates Owney, the canine mascot of the Railway Mail Ser­vice.
During the late 1880s, a dog appeared in the Post Office in Albany, New York, where clerks took a liking to him and named him Owney.
Today, he is an icon of Amer­ican postal lore whose story highlights the historical impor­tance of the Railway Mail Service.
The stamp features an original illustration of Owney with many of his famous tags and medals gleaming in the background, while text on the back of the stamp pane tells his story.
The stamp was designed by art director Phil Jordan and features an illus­tration by veteran stamp artist Bill Bond.
(Forever stamps will always equal the first class rate.
