Added by Alain Martineau
General Description : Modeled by Herman Herbert Schwartz
Picture engraved by Silas Robert Allen
This postage stamp replaced the 7-cent Postal Centennial Commemorative issue used since September, 1951. With this stamp the Department discontinued the marking of the 7-cent denomination specifically for airmail use. A Canada goose (branta Canadensis) leaving the water and becoming airborne. The stamp features this subject to suggest airmail. The 7-cent denomination, although intended for general postal use, extensively prepays airmail postage. This is not an airmail stamp.
