Our rallying cry, "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of history," surrounds a wood carving attributed to Alexander Swasey (1820-1860), a boat builder. The carving includes an eagle, shield, the seal of the United States, Lady Liberty with pole and cap, canon and canon balls, a cornucopia with tobacco leaves, and sheaves of grain.

The carving is in the collection of the Newport Historical Society in Newport, Rhode Island, where it is on display. It is used under license.

The sticker is printed in the US on thick, durable vinyl with a UV laminate that protects it from scratching, rain, and sunlight. Die cut

Size: 3" x 2.23"

This same design is also available as a magnet of the same size.

This image will soon be available as a mug. Sign up for The History List Insider to be notified when this is available.

Shipping

For shipments to addresses within the U.S. (scroll down for International shipping)

Flat-rate shipping: Regardless of the number of items you order, the shipping price for shirts, caps, unframed prints and posters, bracelets, lapel pins, pendants, and button packs is $5.95.

For hooded and crewneck sweatshirts, mugs, and blankets, the shipping cost is $8.95. 

Our flat rate shipping means you can add two or more t-shirts, sweatshirts, or caps for no additional shipping charge.

Note that some large or heavy items, including larger framed prints, may have a different shipping charge or a shipping surcharge. When they do, it will be noted on the product page.

 

Timing

We try to ship orders within three business days of receiving them. This applies to in-stock items. Framed items or items requiring personalization may take up to two weeks longer. If there is an extended delay, it will be noted on the product page.

We close for a week over Independence Day and Christmas. A notice will appear at the top of every page of the site in advance of this closure.

We ship most orders via USPS, so if the post office is closed, we won't be shipping orders that day.

If you need to receive your order by a certain date, such as to give as a gift or have for a trip, we recommend ordering at least two weeks in advance, especially if you are using USPS shipping. 

If you're looking for reliable, on-time deliveries, we strongly suggest upgrading to "UPS 3 Business Day Select Shipping."

Additional notes:

  • When fulfillment takes longer, such as around the Christmas holidays, we'll put up an announcement in the site and will list recommended shipping deadlines below.
  • If an item is out of stock, we will contact you.
  • If one of your items is an advance order, that will be noted on the product page along with an estimate of when it will ship. If that estimated date changes, the product page will be updated.

      • $8.95 for hooded and crewneck sweatshirts, mugs, and blankets.

    We strongly recommend using UPS, especially in November and December.

          Great sticker!

          Great sticker! I put one on my laptop and one on my family history binder.

          Excellent sticker!

          This sticker is just pure awesome. The quality is fantastic both in graphics and the sticker itself. It’s what I call “sophisticated patriotism”, and allows you to show off your pride for both country and history without it looking cheesy or overtly patriotic.

          The only reason it gets four stars from me, is because I wish there was a bigger size option. They make great gifts as well as an extra add-on for someone.

          Thanks, Larisa, for your review. We made this sticker the same size as our standard-sized 'History Nerd' sticker with Ben Franklin because that one is our most popular. We also thought it would be an easy way for folks who have that sticker to understand the size of this one. We offer the 'History Nerd' sticker in a larger size, but the small sticker is much more popular by a factor of probably 20:1. If this sticker is as popular as our 'History Nerd' sticker, we'll look at adding a larger size. Thanks for the suggestion.
