I was looking through my grandmother's stamp collection and I looked
for some stamps relating to Indiana Jones.

I know that I am stretching things to find relationships.

I have finally managed to relate the Chicken Stamp to Indiana Jones.

The guy who originally came up with the inspiration for two of the films,
Raiders and Last Crusade, was a chicken farmer.

His name: Heinrich Himmler

A more direct connection could be made with Earl Weber's cargo of chickens in "Doom". The American Poultry Industry would have been one of his main competitors.:p

Nice stamps, William. Does your grandmother have any from outside the U.S.? I'm sure, one day down the road, an Indiana Jones stamp will be issued.

I am sure that the artists on the Raven boards can come up with suitable designs
for a series of Indiana Jones stamps.

Awesome stuff but Indy would never collect stamps maybe postcard but never stamps!!!

But he would use the stamps to send the postcards! Which must odd: Sending out a postcard with your persona on the stamp.
