United Nations Forerunner Meter Stamp Slogans

United States · 1947 · Variable (1¢ to $1.00)

This image displays a collection of United States meter stamps used by the United Nations, each featuring a postal cancellation mark and a distinct slogan promoting the UN's mission, such as 'UNITED NATIONS FOR PEACE'. The denominations vary across the examples shown.

These meter stamps represent the early efforts of the United Nations to communicate its mission and presence in the United States, prior to the establishment of its own postal administration and the issuance of its dedicated postage stamps in 1951. They illustrate the UN's initial use of host-country postal services for its official mail.
