Stamp shown is Scott 1489: stamp counter -- one of a series of several stamps showing US postal workers on the job, issued by US postal service 41 years ago this month - first class postage within US was 8 cents then (49 cents now or a "forever" stamp)

@Squince -- this is a category 3 swap - package or craft -- not sure what kind of PC you sent, but if just a PC, would need to be "crafty" -- hope this helps, sent you private message, too
