VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THESE ARE THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE WAR TAX ESSAYS.
In October 1917 the U.S. Congress approved a 1c increase in the postal rate to help defray costs of World War I. The Canal Zone Director of Posts requested that a surcharge for stamped envelopes be made, showing a "T" for tax and 1c. These two essays were prepared, each with a different font. Prior to implementation, it was determined the Act of Congress did not apply to the Canal Zone, and these surcharges were never issued.
