United States Flags on United States Stamps. The first United States stamp to show the U. S. flag-four of them-was issued in 1869. It is Scott 121, the 30Â¢ of the set, and the Flags shared the small space (21mm X 21mm) with a shield and an eagle. The flag is printed in blue. A flag stamp doesnât appear in multicolor until 88 years later, in 1957.
One of the functions of the post office is to issue commemorative stamps. Commemorative stamps commemorate people, places, artwork and ideas and are hot collectibles. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was given this honor two times; once in 1964 and once in 1967. The first stamp was issued on May 29, 1964. On that day, the U.S. Post Office released the five cent John F. Kennedy memorial stamp on what would have been Kennedyâs 47th birthday. The issue was designed by Raymond Loewy/William Snaith, a New York firm. It was based on an initial sketch by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing artist Robert L. Miller.
