(#C35-C42 Released 1965 - current value $2.40 - A distant relation to the New York World's Fair series of Jordan stamps are the ones issued to commemorate the Columns of Jerash. One of these relics from the Roman temple of Artemis, known as the "Whispering Column Of Jerash", resides today in Flushing Meadow Corona Park as a gift from Jordan which was presented by the late King Hussein to the Fair in April 1964. These are not included in the total World's Fair stamp count.
