1925-1931 – Three covers franked with bisected U.S. stamps, with a letter from a postmaster explaining their unauthorized but allowed “emergency” use.
These three covers were mailed between 1925 and 1931, and all are partially franked with U.S. bisected stamps. Two of the three are on stamped envelopes. These bisected stamps were used to pay the new fractional rates on third and fourth class mail (circulars, printed matter, books, etc.) that was imposed by Congress in 1925. Their use was unauthorized but implemented at some post offices when ½-cent rate stamps and envelopes were note available.
One cover bears the typed annotation “PRINTED MATTER” and another “(No ½¢ stamps)”
