Easter Seals

Easter Seals stamps celebrate a theme where charity and philately genuinely overlap. Easter seals began as fundraising labels sold around the holiday to support services for children and adults with disabilities, a movement that grew out of early twentieth-century efforts by Edgar Allen and became the national Easter Seals organization. The subject appeals to topical collectors drawn to charity and welfare history, and it connects naturally with cinderella items, holiday themes, disability advocacy, and famous Americans on stamps.
