Well, at least I got to have a haircut in the Penny Lane barber shop. 30 Jun 2020 08:55:24pm
Is this a rare use of a Martha Prexie 1-1/2 cent stamp on postcard?
Was the U.S. postcard rate ever that? All the places I've looked have no such thing, but I remember reading in Linn's or American Philatelist that there was a brief period at 1-1/2. The article pictured a tourist's postcard sent in the middle of her trip "when the rate raised a half-penny."
Judging by the city name on the postmark, it was mailed no sooner than June 1, 1931.
Or is this just an overpayment for lack of a penny stamp?
there was an increase of the post card rate, back to 2c, from 4.15.25 to 7.1.28; it essentially killed PCs, because there was no difference between PC and letter rates.
But you are correct; there is no 1.5c PC rate; 1.5c was a 3rd class rate for a number of years.
