This lot includes two used 8¢ U.S. postage stamps issued in 1972 as part of the American Folklore Series. Designed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing using lithographed and engraved methods, the stamp features Norman Rockwell’s iconic illustration of Tom Sawyer tricking a friend into whitewashing a fence — a classic scene from Mark Twain’s novel. Issued on October 13, 1972, in Hannibal, Missouri, Twain’s hometown, these stamps are cataloged as Scott #1470 and are ideal for collectors of literary or Americana-themed philately.
