Reversschrift Latin
Reverslegende 1847-1972 The adoption of Postage Stamps in 1847 for use in prepayments of Post- age represented one of the most important single improvements in the history of the postal Service. Stamps were issued to provide an accurate and automatic check on postage revenues. Prior to the issuance of stamps, letters accepted by Post- masters were marked `Paid` by means of pen and ink or hand stamps of various designs. UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE US MAIL
