Arago: 30-cent Franklin

Up
30-cent Franklin

The first 30-cent Franklin stamp was issued in April of 1914. It eventually underwent three renditions, each distinguished by a variety of papers, coils, watermarks, and perforations.

Patrons commonly combined the 30-cent Franklin stamp and other denominations to fulfill large weight and foreign destination rates. By the time the last 30-cent Franklin stamps were sold, more than 181 million had been issued.
