About this Product
This necklace features a special dog in postal history. Owney was adopted by the postal service in 1888 and often rode the rails on the mailbags between postal depots. The clerks in Albany, New York had a color made for him with his name so he would always find his way home. This stamp features Owney and his collar.
The pendant is made from a real, canceled stamp encased in glass with a shiny silver finish. It is a little over an inch across. Each necklace comes with a 18 inch black, woven cord.
Care Instructions:
Necklaces are not waterproof. Be careful not to get them wet. Wipe with a soft cloth to clean.

Meet the Maker
I became inspired to make jewelry from my husband's love of postcard writing. It seemed like shame that so many lovely stamps go on one journey and then end up thrown away or collecting dust in a corner. At Postbox Workshop, I give postage stamps the center stage by turning them into a beautiful piece of jewelry. Every piece is thoughtfully crafted from a used, canceled stamp that's made its way through the mail to me.
