1920 US Stamped Envelope Revaluation (George Washington)

United States · 1920 · 2 cents

The indicium features a profile bust of George Washington facing left, encircled by 'U.S. POSTAGE' at the top and '2 CENTS' at the bottom. This design is part of a revaluation for a stamped envelope.

Issued in 1920, this revaluation indicium allowed previously issued 3-cent stamped envelopes to be used for the new 2-cent postal rate, reflecting a post-World War I adjustment in U.S. postal policy.
