Stamped Envelope Seabiscuit Legendary US thoroughbred race horse (Stallion, foaled 1933) The design of the imprinted stamp depicts a scene from the exciting match race on November 1, 1938 between "Seabiscuit" and "War Admiral" at the Pimlico racetrack near Baltimore, MD. Seabiscuit, an inconspicuous champion, raised the hopes and spirits of the beleaguered US nation during the Great Depression with a series of incredible victories. |
