Get Set of 2 Series of 1922-25 Stamps Issued 4 Years Later
This set contains a 13¢ Benjamin Harrison and 17¢ Woodrow Wilson stamp. Though part of the Series of 1922-25, these stamps were issued four years after the rest were released.
With no obvious need for it, the 13¢ stamp was originally left out of the Series of 1922. Four years later, the 1926 13¢ Benjamin Harrison stamp appeared – for no apparent reason.
Some believe it was issued to satisfy Postmaster General Harry New, whose father was a close political ally of President Harrison. Others point out that 13¢ paid the combination postage and insurance on parcels valued between $25 and $50.
The Wilson stamp was issued a year after the former President died, so it is considered a mourning stamp. The 17¢ value would have covered the registration fee and first-class postage.
