_Local Rate Using a Washington Coil Stamp (Scott Number 492) _
Civilian cover using an ‘old’ stamp; that is, a stamp issued before the new War Rates came into effect in 1917.
This is a coil stamp, perforated 10 vertically (Scott #492). Note that this pays for the ’local’ rate. It was mailed at the main post office, and addressed to someone serviced by the same post office. (Note the word ‘city’ for the destination address). Thus, it qualified for a one cent discount, 2 cents rather than 3.
