Goebel Hummel Small Framed 1961 Nursing U.S. Postage Stamp Miniature

This miniature collectible features a genuine or reproduction 1961 4-cent United States postage stamp commemorating the nursing profession, housed within a small, rectangular gold-toned brass or metallic frame. The stamp itself depicts a nurse in a traditional white uniform and cap, centered against a blue background with the word 'NURSING' at the base. The frame appears to have a polished finish with minor surface oxidation consistent with age. This piece is part of a larger collection of avian-themed porcelain figurines, including a notable Robin family nesting scene and a stylized Mexican-style owl. The nursing miniature stands approximately 2-3 inches tall and is designed for tabletop display. Regarding condition, the paper of the stamp shows slight yellowing, and the metallic frame retains its structural integrity without significant denting. These types of framed stamps were popular mid-century gift items for healthcare professionals. The craftsmanship level is indicative of mass-produced collectible decor from the late 20th century.
