The One-and-one-half-cent Prexie
Printed circular and miscellaneous matter use
The third class rate for printed circulars and miscellaneous matter was one-and-one-half cents per two ounces from April 15, 1925 until January 1, 1949.
This pack of postcards was sent as miscellaneous matter in 1942. It was mailed from the Florence internment camp, Coolidge, Arizona, which held captured enemy soldiers.
A phonograph record possibly cut by a serviceman during World War II, mailed third class using a precancelled horizontal coil one-and-one-half cent Prexie. While third class mail could not contain writing other than a signature and a few non-message words like "sincerely yours," recorded messages were allowed.
