NEW YORK, April 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The Stars and Stripes received a special
stamp of approval today when five new commemorative postage stamps featuring photographs of patriotic symbolism inspired by the colors and design of the U.S. flag were issued by the U.S. Postal Service. The Old Glory prestige booklet, which contains 20 stamps featuring the five Old Glory designs, was dedicated at a first day of issue ceremony held in conjunction with the Postage Stamp Mega-Event sponsored by the American Philatelic Society (APS), American Stamp Dealers Association, Inc. (ASDA), and the Postal Service. The show runs through April 6. The Old Glory prestige booklet is available at the Mega-Event in New York, Philatelic Centers, and Postal Stores nationwide and by toll-free telephone order at 1-800-Stamp-24. "Nothing reflects the pride and emotion we have as American's like the U.S. flag," said David E. Failor, executive director of Stamp Services for the U.S. Postal Service, who was the dedicating official. "This souvenir booklet takes a wonderful look at how we use the Stars and Stripes to tell our country's story. Old Glory takes many forms -- from official versions we so proudly wave, to countless derivative designs. In the end they all say the same thing -- allegiance to the republic for which it stands. It is our pleasure to highlight the beloved symbol with a philatelic souvenir booklet," Failor said. "This assignment was just plain fun. I am cursed with being one of those people who collects anything and everything. Creating this booklet was a wonderful opportunity to work and play at the same time," said Richard D. Sheaff, stamp designer and writer of the Old Glory prestige booklet. Third graders from P.S. 1 Alfred E. Smith School rendered several stirring patriotic vocal selections to the standing-room-only crowd. Also participating in the ceremony were Lloyd A. de Vries, secretary, APS; Jackson W. Taylor, president, ASDA; Whitney Smith, PhD., director, The Flag Research Center; Vinnie Malloy, Postal Service District Manager-Postmaster, New York District; John K. Harget, manager, Post Office Operations, New York District. The Old Glory stamps highlight examples of America's heritage, including a 19th-century hand-painted carving of a woman proudly holding aloft a sword and flag; an 1888 presidential campaign badge with a photograph of Benjamin Harrison; the top portion of a silk bookmark that was woven at the World's Columbia Exposition in 1893; an example of 20th-century folk art featuring Uncle Sam riding a high-wheel bicycle; and a modern folding fan with a flag design. Featuring 20 stamps in five designs, this is the second prestige booklet issued by the Postal Service. The first honored, was U.S. Navy Submarines, which was issued in 2000. A prestige booklet is a stamp booklet with oversized panes, descriptive information and images commemorating a special topic. The idea for these booklets originated in Great Britain in 1969. The added information places into context and complements the subjects featured in the actual prestige booklet. The stamps were designed by Richard Sheaff of Scottsdale, Ariz. Sheaff is a design consultant to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee and has been responsible for the design or art direction of more than 200 released U.S.
postage stamps.
