Scott #Q1– #Q12 – 1912–13 Parcel Post Stamps – Complete Used Display Set

Scott Q1–Q12 – 1912–1913 Parcel Post Stamps – Curated Used/Canceled Set

This curated mounted page features the complete 1912–1913 Parcel Post series — Scott Q1 through Q12 — one of the most distinctive and historically significant sets of early U.S. Back-of-Book stamps. Issued during the brief Parcel Post experiment, these red engraved designs illustrate a wide range of American postal and industrial scenes, including the Postal Clerk, Mail Train, Steamship Mail, Mail Plane, Harvesting, and more. Their vivid imagery and short period of use have made them a cornerstone of classic U.S. collecting.

This set includes used/canceled examples, each selected for strong, legible postal markings and overall presentation. The twelve-value lineup, from the 1¢ Postal Clerk to the 1.00 Fruit Growing high value, is neatly arranged on a clean album page, offering a cohesive display for collectors of Parcel Post history, transportation themes, or early 20th-century engraved U.S. issues.

A protective 3-hole archival sleeve is included for safe handling and long-term preservation.
