Your cart is empty.
Your cart is empty.Five illustrations: a double scoop ice cream cone, an egg cream, a banana split, a root beer float, and a hot fudge sundae. The stamp booklet includes four of each design. By the late 1800s, Americans had long since begun drinking carbonated beverages for their pleasant taste, rather than their supposed health benefits. Soda jerks, the skilled operators of the nation's bustling soda fountains, offered a wide variety of syrups to flavor their product. The ice cream soda's precise origin is not clear, but by the turn of the 20th century it had become a fountain staple. The rise of refrigeration helped establishments produce, serve, and store frozen confections, whose popularity surged. By the 1960s, the number of soda fountains had dramatically decreased, but today soda fountain culture lives on in homes, restaurants, and ice cream parlors across America. Artist Nancy Stahl created the illustrations of the soda fountain treats. Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamps, which are being issued as a First-Class Mail Forever booklet of 20. These Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price.

These stamps are super cute. They looked especially adorable on the pink Mother's Day cards I sent earlier this month.Best of all, they're honored by the postal service. (I've noticed some stamps on Amazon have been reported as fraudulent.)

I really loved these. So very beautiful and very unusual. I gave them to my 8-year-old as part of a cupcake and sweets stationery set, along with a set of the new gel pens. She absolutely loves it and it's a nice what to keep in touch with a small person who has yet to discover the joy of writing. I must say she's on her way with a turn-key writing set where you don't have to go ask mom or dad; you can just have a good, private chat with 'gramma' that is all your own!

I sent these to my daughter, and at first she thought they were stickers, so make sure if you they are a gift that you explain that they are postage stamps. They are cute and fun.

Cute retro soda fountain stamps. A nice variety. As expected and on time. It's nice to have the forever stamps so you needn't worry if postage increases.
