U.S. #374-82
Series of 1910-11
In August of 1910, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing made the decision to change the USPS watermark. In addition to reducing the size of the letters, the style was changed from a double line to a single line. The purpose was to strengthen the paper and give it a more uniform thickness, since the old watermark had a tendency to weaken the structure of the paper.
Here are the stamps in this set:
374 - 1c Franklin, Green
375 - 2c Washington, Carmine
