Back when US postage stamps cost 37 cents, the Post Office issued the most awesome stamps ever. Bat Stamps!
I bought reams of them! I used them on all my mail and I gave them as gifts.
The gift recipients were always a bit taken aback…
Nothing made me happier than a bat stamp.
But I’ll let you judge for yourself….
Perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I’m still bummed that I can’t buy bat stamps anymore. They always made my day…


serves me right for never going to the post orifice. i love bats, as you know.
What’s not to love??

Hilarious – you and the stamps!
Thanks! I try…
I love bats, too! If I’d seen these when they were out, I’d have bought them.
You can still find a bat stamp tote bag at http://store.batconservation.org/batstamptotebag.aspx
Love that! And reasonably priced, too!
And it helps bats!!
I wish I had friends who gave me bat stamps! Those are pretty cool. If the postal service wants to do a remix with Christian Bale Batman stamps, those would be equally hot… ahem… cool, too.
I would buy that remix too!!
That stamp might just save the postal service….
I don’t remember the bat stamp, but they are rather cute.
