Originally released on January 14, 2004, these stamps are a part of the beloved Love Series from the USPS. The design showcases colorful candy hearts with the endearing phrase "I 'Heart' You," making them perfect for adding a touch of love and sweetness to wedding invitations, save-the-dates, Valentines, and other love-filled correspondences.
The story behind these stamps dates back to 1866 when Daniel Chase, brother of NECCO founder Oliver Chase, created a way to print sayings on candy. The small NECCO hearts featured messages like "Be Mine," "Marry Me," and "Cutie Pie," and have now become a beloved tradition. This history is now captured in the design of these delightful vintage stamps.
These Vintage Unused Love Series Candy Hearts Stamps are perfect for engagements, weddings, Valentine's Day. They offer a perfect blend of nostalgia and sweetness, making them a must-have for any stamp collector or lover of all things love-related.
