LIST OWNER THIS IS OFF TOPIC YOU MAY DELETE IF YOU SO DESIRE. IT DOES NOT HAVE SURNAMES OR ST OR CO NAMES. I found the following on another list and thought this might be a bit of GENEALOGY TRIVIA that would be of interest to some. Me I have printed out several and put one in several of my genealogy notebooks that are used frequently, that way I don't have to run to one all the time if a postage date is in question.

These postal rate changes will help a little on dating those old letters. July 1, 1885 2 cents Nov 3, 1917 3 cents July 1, 1919 2 cents July 6, 1932 3 cents Aug 1, 1958 4 cents Jan 7, 1963 5 cents May 16, 1971 8 cents Mar 2, 1974 10 cents and up I was not aware of the change up and down from 2 to 3 cents and that fact explains some of my dating problems. I read this information in a newspaper back in Jan when they were proposing a new postal increase.
