I don't recall seeing famous "gangsters" or "outlaws" on stamps. Does anybody know of any?

A famous Australian outlaw, Ned Kelly, is commemorated on a few Australian issues.  This one is a little different, as here he is commemorated on an Irish miniature sheet! |

Triggersmob, regarding the Abrahams tank, it took a few minutes but the bottom right corner stamp on your sheet is a M1-A1. I've seen lots of tanks on stamps but this is my first M1-A1. |

So far, I've only found two: The one shown in the lower left of this cartoon-oriented stamp:  ...and for a more realistic view, this upcoming US stamp (slated to be issued in July 2011), as included in the sheet for Pioneers of Industrial Design will apply:  |

I know one thing that won't be on a stamp: a toilet.
That said, I'm sure the Dutch, with their lousy taste in stamp design, are thinking about it. |
