About these stamps:  This 1997 stamp was issued as part of a pane of 15 stamps each picturing a different American doll or pair of dolls. This pane was unique as it was the first time that individual photographs were used on a large set of stamps.  (Previously only paintings or drawings were used for large panes, such as US birds and flowers). The original concept was for a block of 4 different dolls, but eventually the number grew to 15 to show a diverse collection of American dolls from the early 20th century.  The first day ceremony was held in Anaheim, California at the conference of the United Federation of Doll Clubs. 

Designed by creator of Kewpie,  Rose O’Neill,  Scootles first appeared as a drawing in the Ladies Home Journal in April 1925.  Like Kewpie, she modeled Scootles after her baby brother.  However, this doll was designed to be a little older and a girl.  She  had an upturned nose, a  smiling mouth, and round mischievous eyes.  Scootles never quite had the fan popularity of the original Kewpie (cupid) doll.

  

A bit more history:  United States Post Office issued its first stamp on July 1, 1847. Since that time, over 5000 stamps have been released. Each stamp is given its own identification number called a Scott Number. This stamp has been designated as Scott Number 3151J.
