Object Details
- Description
- On October 9, 2009, in New York, New York, at the Mega Stamp Show, the Postal Service issued a 44-cent Hanukkah stamp in a pressure-sensitive adhesive pane of twenty.
- Designed by Carl T. Herrman, North Las Vegas, Nevada, the stamp's image features a photograph of a menorah with nine lit candles. The menorah was designed by Lisa Regan of the Garden Deva Sculpture Company in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and photographed by Ira Wexler of Braddock Heights, Maryland. This is the third stamp design to commemorate the holiday. The first Hanukkah stamp, issued in 1996, featured a stylized illus-tration of a menorah. A design featuring an ornate dreidel followed in 2004.
- The Banknote Corporation of America printed 35 million stamps using the offset process with microprint 'USPS.'
