Description: 1926 U.S. STAMPED ENVELOPE SESQUICENT. 2c Carmine Die1 Sc#U522 Used Cut Square Historic Background:In August 1852, an Act of the US Congress authorized the Postmaster General to provide "suitable letter envelopes with such watermarks or other guards against counterfeits... with the addition of the value or denomination of the postage stamps so printed or impressed thereon...." The first result was the 1853 Nesbitt issues of stamped envelopes, which was named after the private contractor who produced them for the government.When the different envelope sizes, colors, die varieties and denominations are combined, there are literally thousands of different stamped envelopes produced for the US. A truly fascinating area of philately for ernest collectors. One in a series of CLASSIC 19th - 20th Century U.S. postal issues to be listed this month on E-Bay.
