Face Value 10 Cents | 1974 | Scott 1548

What’s Halloween without a Headless Horseman? Washington Irving’s famous character from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow was featured on this 1974 American folklore stamp issued just in time for Halloween. With Ichabod Crane trying to gallop to freedom, this dark silhouette set against a full moon will create the perfect scary scene on your outgoing mail. Spook your friends with a letter bearing this stamp!

Interested in more author/literature or holiday stamps to pair with these for postage? Check out our other vintage stamp listings. These vintage 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 mint 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.

Shipping Info: We ship our stamps, stickers, and other flat items in a sturdy, flat mailer with tracking for the best protection. Because the post office considers this a “package” and not a flexible envelope, the cost of shipping is subject to package prices. This is the best way to protect your purchase.

T-shirts are shipped in poly mailers.
