Bosnia year 2001 Charlie Chaplin stamp

Unfortunately, I don’t have any specific information about stamps featuring Charlie Chaplin that were issued prior to my training data cutoff in August 2023. However, I can provide some general context around Chaplin being depicted on postage stamps worldwide:

Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) was one of the most iconic and influential figures in early cinema and is celebrated for creating his “Little Tramp” character. As an acclaimed actor, filmmaker, and cultural icon, Chaplin has been honored on stamps by many countries and postal authorities over the decades.

Some examples of countries that have issued Charlie Chaplin stamps include:

• United States (1994) – 29c stamp in the Silent Film Stars series
• Russia (2009) – Chaplin was featured on a stamp for his 120th birth anniversary
• India (1985) – He appeared on an Indian stamp pane with other pioneers of early cinema
• Monaco (2012) – Commemorating the 50th anniversary of his honorary knighthood
• Grenada (1989) – Chaplin’s famous bowler hat and cane were depicted

Common stamp designs show portraits of Chaplin, either in full costume as the Little Tramp or more formal portraits. Others recreate iconic scenes or poster art from his classic films like The Gold Rush, The Kid, Modern Times and others.

For topical stamp collectors interested in cinema, comedians, or pop culture icons, Charlie Chaplin stamps from various countries make for a very interesting and historic collection subject.
