Scott Q1–Q12 – 1912–1913 Parcel Post Stamps – Curated Mint Set

Scott Q1–Q12 – 1912–1913 Parcel Post Stamps – Curated Mint Set

This mounted page features a complete mint set of the 1912–1913 Parcel Post issue — Scott Q1 through Q12 — one of the most iconic Back-of-Book series produced by the U.S. Post Office Department. Issued for only a brief period before the system was reorganized, these red engraved stamps remain highly collectible for their bold color, detailed vignettes, and the snapshot they offer of early 20th-century American industry and transportation.

Each stamp in this curated set is mint and well-presented, with the strong impressions and bright carmine color that define this classic issue. The designs range from the 1¢ Postal Clerk to the 1.00 Fruit Growing high value, illustrating everything from mail handling and rural delivery to manufacturing, dairying, and agricultural work. For collectors who appreciate thematic material, this series is especially appealing — a miniature gallery of American productivity and movement.

The stamps are neatly arranged on a clean album page, offering a ready-made display for those building a specialized Parcel Post collection or enhancing a broader U.S. Back-of-Book section. A 3-hole archival sleeve is included to ensure safe protection and easy placement within a binder.
