📜 Historical Overview

Issued annually, the “duck” stamps are designed by some of America's finest artists. Initially, the artwork for these stamps was commissioned, but that changed in 1949 when designer Bob Hines (creator of the 1946-47 issue) suggested the idea for a contest. Today, well-known painters and designers from throughout the U.S. compete to have their work displayed on the desirable hunting permit stamps. In 1991, Nancy Howe became the first woman to win the annual competition. 

In the philatelic world, RW47 is the $7.50 Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp issued for the 1980–1981 hunting season.

• Design: It features a pair of Mallards in flight, painted by wildlife artist Richard Plasschaert.

• History: Authorized by the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act, these revenue stamps act as a vital conservation tool, with proceeds used to purchase and protect wetland habitats.
