Description:

This is a complete set of 62 collectible Duck Hunting & Conservation Permit Stamps presented on prepaid telecom international phone cards, each valued at $5. These cards feature a series of detailed and historically significant migratory bird hunting stamps issued annually by U.S. government departments from 1934 to 1996. Each card displays a unique stamp design related to ducks, waterfowl, and other migratory birds, along with the expiration date and year printed clearly on the stamp.

The stamps include a wide variety of bird species like Harlequin Ducks, Blue-winged Teal, Ring-necked Ducks, Canvasbacks, Red-breasted Mergansers, Cinnamon Teal, Wood Ducks, Emperor Geese, and Snow Geese, among others. Several cards highlight their respective species with both vivid illustrations and specific names, such as “American Merganser,” “Ross Geese,” “Steller’s Eider,” and “King Eiders.” The set showcases artwork from different eras, with delicate etchings from the early 20th century evolving to colorful, more detailed imagery toward the latter half of the century.

Each card has a color-coded edge with a duck silhouette and a number icon that corresponds to the stamp year and design, which ranges sequentially from 1 to 62. These permit stamps originally served as migratory bird hunting permissions issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture or the Department of the Interior. The cards commemorate the important history of wildlife conservation efforts and habitat protection through this philatelic series while combining the collectible themes of hunting permits, duck stamps, and phone cards.
