My boyfriend Todd's cars each have a little mascot. His Crown Vic actually has a few... one being this little lobster. Here we see him protesting Todd's choice of lunch... a Maine LOBSTER ROLL...

This is a 2013 reprise of an earlier issue released in the 70s, part of a 2-stamp issue as a count down to the 2015 World Stamp Expo to be held in Singapore. The main shell here is half a giant clam (Tridacna) shell.

here's a nice cover I picked up somewhere ... appears to be an engraved stamp ... very handsome stamp, but seems a bit odd to see a lobster superimposed over a Swiss mountain scene.
