Description
Stamp Details Identification: These stamps are part of the Japanese Occupation issues of the Philippines. They feature a "Post Office Clerk" design in brown-red, which has been overprinted. Overprint Features: Blue Bar: A solid blue horizontal bar covers the original "United States of America" text at the top. Value Change: The original denomination is overprinted with "3 CVOS" (3 centavos) in blue. Historical Context These postage due stamps were issued on October 14, 1942, during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in World War II. They were created by overprinting existing stock of the 1928 4c brown-red postage due stamps to adjust for new postal rates and remove references to the United States.
