 State 1845-1851 Minimize
This Page will begin in 1845 when postage rates dropped to 5 cents and 10 cents within the US and extend to the next postage rate change in 1851.  Use the menu to see the sub-page on the 1847 adhesive issues used to and from Arkansas.  If you have a cover from this period from Arkansas, I would be very interested in obtaining a scan.  Please use the email notification on the front page to let me know.  Thanks.
