Bluebirds On StampsDate: Tue, 16 Oct 2001 19:58:53 -0700 (PDT) Has anyone heard of the petition for the Western Bluebird to be placed on the USA postage stamp and who should I write to, to help??? Darrell ___________________________________________________ From: "Bruce Burdett" blueburd"at"srnet.com To Darrell, et al, The Bluebird is already on a U.S. stamp. It's a 3-center, and I carry a 100-stamp sheet of them around in my copy of "Bluebirds Forever" for show-and-tell at my presentations. I can't remember the name of the painter, but it's a very beautiful likeness, it seems to me. I'm sure that the folks at your post office can tell you about it. I have somewhere a blowup which I printed from the Internet. Browse a little. Elwell, in SW NH Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 17:30:57 -0700 Linda Violett - Yorba Linda, Calif. Darrell, you are correct that the western bluebird has been submitted to the US Postal Committee for consideration. I was looking through my past publications last night to find the (NABS?) article on the nomination process and wasn't able to put my finger on it, believe it was in "Bluebirds." It was my understanding that the more interest (letters) that are received by the Postal Service in support of a nomination, the more likely it is to be seriously considered for a future stamp. If no one else responds to your question with exact info, write again. The western bluebird (WEBL) is the somewhat forgotten species. The eastern and mountain bluebirds have the distinction of being state birds and both have been honored on our U.S. postage stamps several times. Therefore, I purchase several hundred of the 3-cent eastern bluebird stamps each year to pass out to people who are curious about the birds we are helping.

Per Elwell's suggestion, your local post office would surely have this 3-cents postage stamp, copies of which I also have. This website notes the three-cent bluebird stamp: http://www.philately.com/philately/usa_1996.htm Ask Jeeves for searching bluebird postage stamp revealed this website, showing bluebird on a stamp as state bird of New York.

but one needs only to tell them how many one wants. They are not behind the
counter, but rather out in the front of the post office. I don't know how long
they have been out, but these are the first I have seen. From: "Fawzi P. Emad femad <at> fpemad <dot> com If you want to see many stamps (including the Eastern Bluebird stamps) click on the link below: http://www.geocities.com/zjchxy/CurrentInUse/Usa/USinuse.htm The 3 cent stamp was issued twice, once in 1991 (03 is printed on the stamp) and again in 1996 (3=A2 is printed on the stamp.) Otherwise, the stamps are identical. Fawzi Fawzi Emad in Laytonsville, Maryland From: "Bruce Burdett" blueburd"at"srnet.com To everybody, From: "Ron Kingston" kingston"at"cstone.net We still have 4 sheets (100 per sheet) of the first ones issued in 1991 on hand of the E. Bluebird. These were not the adhesive ones. I'm very pleased that now the p. o. has adhesive stamps. They R easier to use but don't know if stamp collectors like the adhesive or the old fashion type. Priscilla From: "Ron Kingston" kingston"at"cstone.net P.S. see below These were not the self adhesive ones. I'm very pleased that now the p. o. has self adhesive stamps. They R easier to use but don't know if stamp collectors like them or prefere
the old fashion ones instead. Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2002 06:48:06 -0500 (Central Daylight Time) |
