USA year 1941 Duck stamp $1 Scott RW7 MNG/Used

The U.S. Duck Stamp, formally known as the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, was introduced in 1934 as a means to generate revenue for the protection of wildlife habitats and the conservation of migratory birds. The stamps are purchased by waterfowl hunters, collectors, and conservationists.

The 1941 Duck Stamp, designated as Scott #RW8, was printed in multi color and features a well-centered design of the Ruddy Ducks in flight. A total of 1,260,810 copies of the 1940-1941 Duck Stamp were sold, with the stamp valid for use until June 30, 1941.

The 1941-1942 Federal Duck Stamp featured a painting of a pair of American Wigeons by artist John Dick. The Duck Stamp program has been highly successful, raising millions of dollars to help preserve wetlands and wildlife habitats across the United States. Collecting these stamps is a popular hobby, and older stamps, like those from 1941, can be quite valuable to collectors.
