I think that’s March of Dimes Easter seals.

A nicely perforated rock stamp.

Help stamp out envelopes.

Good one.

It says Help Children Walk on the left and Easter Seals 1963 on the right.

Glad we don’t have to lick stamps anymore.

Please use Easter Seals

George Costanzas fiancé died from licking envelopes…With stamps this big….who knows what could happen…..

March of Dimes is a United States nonprofit organization that works to improve the health of mothers and babies. According to its website, “We believe that every baby deserves the best possible start. Unfortunately, not all babies get one. We are changing that.”

The organization was founded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938, as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, to combat polio. “If everyone could send in a dime…” The name “March of Dimes” was coined by Eddie Cantor. After funding Jonas Salk’s polio vaccine, the organization expanded its focus to the prevention of birth defects and infant mortality. In 2005, as preterm birth emerged as the leading cause of death for children worldwide, research and prevention of premature birth became the organization’s primary focus.
