1975 CHRISTMAS


J-133 October 14, 1975 Two Christmas stamps were issued and were the first U.S. stamps printed without an indication of value. They were to be sold for the First Class rate in effect, at the time of their release. The House Post Office Committee has hoped to limit the increased postal rate to 12cents, but the 13cent rate went into effect. The painting is of an antique weather vane portraying an angel in flight sounding a horn. The numis is an elongated cent commemorating Christmas 1975. A set of matching mint stamps is mounted in the reverse of the cover. 49 Produced, 1 produced with elongated dime
