FREE: USPS EMPLOYEES ISSUE (1973) 5 stamps [on paper]

The listing, USPS EMPLOYEES ISSUE (1973) 5 stamps [on paper] has ended.

Four different stamps of the ten in the se-tenent sheet. Five (in all) used on one package.
There is an un-separated pair and a strip of three.

The stamps include:

1496 - 8¢ Loading Mail Truck
1497 - 8¢ Mail Carrier

and on the strip of 3:

1994 - 8¢ Manual Letter Routing
1995 - 8¢ Electronic Letter Routing
1996 - 8¢ Loading Mail Truck

All are cancelled.

Of some interest is that these stamps were issued with an invisible phosphor tag of a 1/2-inch horizontal band. It can be seen under UV (black light). It was used to assist in sorting and handling of the mail.

Also, these stamps were printed (on the backside under the gum with a green, water-soluble ink) showing the logo of the Postal Service and the phrase, "People Serving You".
[If you SOAKed these off with water, you will lose the imprint on the back.]
