In honor of today, Howard letterpress printed two cuts that to relate to postage stamps, and that would be in cases where postage isn’t required. In the print, the one on the right states, “NON-PROFIT ORG. U.S. POSTAGE PAID SACRAMENTO, CA PERMIT NO. 393.” The one on the left comes from Donna from Kentucky and states, “No Postage Stamp Necessary If Mailed in the United States.” This was a common tag on old hotel keys. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press.
