The St. Charles Streetcar Stamp was issued as a block of four stamps on October 8, 1983. Robert W. Everett Jr. was heavily involved in the idea and submitted it to USPS on June 13, 1979 and later his wife Marilyn submitted ink-line sketches.

A 20-cent block of four commemorative stamps featuring America's first major form of mass transportation, the streetcar, was issued October 8, 1983, in Kennebunkport, Maine. The First Day of Issue ceremony was held at the Seashore Trolley Museum, which houses approximately one hundred streetcars and trolleys, many of which are still operable.
