Unused 1968 Curtiss Jenny Postage - 50th Anniversary of U.S. Air Mail Service - 10 cents

A 10¢ Airmail stamp commemorating the 50th anniversary of regularly scheduled Air Mail was issued in Washington, DC, on May 15, 1968. The horizontal stamp pictures a Curtiss Jenny, the 90 horsepower biplane that carried mail on the Washington-New York City run when Air Mail was first established on May 15, 1918. The stamp was designed by Hordur Karlsson and was printed in black on the Giori press. The blue background and blue and red rudder segments were printed by lithography. 

• Mint condition.
• Face value is 10 cents.
• Available in sets of 5.
• Packaged in a glassine envelope (and should be stored in this envelope until ready to use) and mailed in a stay-flat mailer to prevent bending.
• I recommend using a glue stick or small tape glider to adhere to your envelope to make it more secure.

Perfect for wedding envelopes, postcards, or birthday invitations!
