Here is an image of a stamp depicting "Letter carrier, 1863," modeled by Robert L. Miller, Jr., after a painting by American painter and illustrator Norman Percevel Rockwell (1894-1978), engraved by Charles A. Brooks (vignette) and Howard F. Sharpless (lettering), and issued by the USA on October 26, 1963 for the centenary of city mail delivery, Scott No. 1238. - nethryk  |

Good morning. What nice stamps to wake up to. Litho, nethryk, nice scans. I am working on mine today. It makes all the difference in the world. That ultimate mailman is a killer! No wonder Greek housewives in the suburbs went crazy. He would cause a riot in my neighborhood! ...and popcorn it is! The present stamp shows a postman's little post, the "lesser post" in Vienna. Little post because it was possible in Vienna 1772 for the first time, to deliver letters from Viennese at Vienna: this made possible the new organization "Small post".   |

Mr. Bus. I love that sheet of Danish Christmas fun. Are they labels? I don't see a denomination. |

It's a part sheet of Danish Christmas Seals. The top row had a few missing so I 'squared' it off. I thought it fitted the topic perfectly......and coincided with that silly season just around the corner.  |
