About this stamp:
Despite its status as the first state of the Union, Delaware didn’t have an official state flag until July 24, 1913. The state flag of Delaware has a buff-colored diamond on a colonial blue background, representing General George Washington’s uniform.

The diamond is a reference to an early nickname, The Diamond State, because of Delaware’s small size and great value. Inside the diamond is the Delaware coat of arms. A farmer and soldier hold up a shield with a wavy blue line (representing the Delaware River), a cow, wheat, and corn (references to the state’s history in livestock and agriculture), and a boat (signifying the state’s commercial and shipping history).
