Issued by the USPS on May 23, 1988, these stamps commemorate the 200th anniversary of South Carolina becoming the 8th state of the United States. The image of the palm tree was chosen to represent the state's distinctive landscape. 

This stamp is part of a series honoring the 200th statehood anniversaries of the first 13 US states. The stamp design was created by renowned artist Bob Timberlake, who submitted three beautiful watercolor and gouache paintings. One featured the state flower (jasmine), another a live oak tree, and the third, three palmettos (the state tree) surrounded by sea oats. The palmettos were ultimately chosen for their instant recognition with South Carolina. 

The First Day ceremony for this stamp took place in the House of Representatives chamber of the South Carolina state capitol building in Columbia. This stamp is not only a tribute to the state's history, but also showcases its beautiful natural scenery. Don't miss your chance to send your special correspondence with these unique and nostalgic South Carolina statehood stamps.

GUMMED STAMPS: These postage stamps have a traditional moisture-activated gum on the back. These stamps require licking or wetting to adhere to envelopes or other surfaces. To ensure good adhesion, apply vintage gummed stamps to your mailings with a glue stick (we recommend using Elmer's "Re-Stick" glue sticks).

GENUINE USPS POSTAGE: These unused vintage postage stamps are perfectly valid for use as current postage for mailing with USPS as long as you use the adequate amount of additional postage to achieve standard postage rates according to the weight of your mailing. Check current postage rates at USPS.com.
