( a picture of the stamp)
A 1.7-cent stamped envelope for use of authorized non-profit organizations holding precancel and bulk permits,
will be first placed on sale at Baltimore, Maryland on May 10, 1971. It replaces the 1.6-cent denomination.
Except for the change in denomination and color, the design will be identical. The background of the stamp on
the new envelope is purple. These envelopes are sold in post offices in small No. 6¾ and large No. 10 size in full
box lots only.
For the benefit of collectors, the 1.7-cent envelopes will be placed on sale at the Philatelic Sales Unit, Washington,
D. C. 20036, on May 11. The envelopes may be purchased in any quantities desires at 4-cents each, plus the usual
postage and handling charges, the minimum of which is 50 cents.
Collectors desiring first day cancellations on the No. 6¾ standard envelopes may submit orders to the Postmaster,
Baltimore, Maryland 21233, plainly indicating full name and address, INCLUDING ZIP CODE, with remittance to cover
the cost which is 8 cents each. Since first day covers are considered first-class mail, a 5-cent stamp will be affixed to
the envelope to meet the rate. The outside envelope to the Postmaster should be endorsed "First Day Covers 1.7-cent
Envelope."Lexicon
