Legenda do reverso 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.

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
