Created by artist Bob Timberlake, who also designed the South Carolina Bicentenary Statehood stamp, the design shows all or part of nine dogwood flowers. Issued as the 12th stamp in the Bicentenary Statehood series, this commemorative honored North Carolina’s ratification of the U.S. Constitution and admission as the 12th state. North Carolina became a state on November 21, 1789, and the stamp was issued on August 22, 1989, in Fayetteville, North Carolina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTAMP MEANING \u0026amp; SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dogwood blossoms often symbolize renewal, strength, grace, remembrance, and quiet beauty. Paired with North Carolina statehood history, this stamp evokes home, heritage, resilience, and connection to place. It is especially fitting for North Carolina weddings, garden-inspired correspondence, graduation mailings, patriotic notes, sympathy cards, thank you notes, and messages celebrating roots, legacy, or lasting commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTAMP SERIES HISTORY:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Bicentenary Statehood series honored the 200th anniversaries of statehood for the original 13 states. Issued from 1987 through 1990, the stamps appeared in the order in which the former colonies ratified the U.S. Constitution, with each design featuring symbols, scenery, or historic imagery associated with the state. The North Carolina stamp was the 12th stamp in the series and the first one not issued in the state capital; its first day ceremony was held in Fayetteville, where ratification had occurred. It was printed by the American Bank Note Company in panes of 50 within sheets of 200 using lithographed, engraved, and photogravure methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun MacChromeBold SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003eGENUINE USPS POSTAGE: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003eThese unused vintage postage stamps are perfectly valid for use as current postage for mailing with USPS\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun AdvancedProofingIssueV2Themed SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003eas long as\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW120929782 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eyou use the adequate amount of postage to achieve standard postage rates according to the weight of your mailing.
