A RARE AND CERTAINLY
UNIQUE FIRST DAY OF ISSUE OF THE 1¢ BLUISH PAPER ISSUE.
In 1909, the United States briefly experimented with printing stamps on paper with some rag, or cloth, content (standard stamp paper was 100 percent wood pulp). The paper had a
faint bluish or blue-gray tone, and the stamps printed on it are known as "bluish-paper" stamps. More than 3 million 1¢ and 2¢ U.S. stamps were printed on bluish paper and sold through post offices starting on February 16, 1909. The paper
was not adopted. However, Arthur Travers of the Third Assistant Postmaster General's office requested sample bluish-paper sheets of all stamp values up to 15¢ for the Post Office archives. He was later fired and indicted for supplying some of
these archival stamps to a dealer for a price well above face value. (Image1)
