	Postage stamps and postal history of India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The postage stamps and postal history of India are complicated by the patchwork of British and local rule prior to partition in 1947.
		The usage of the stamps began on 1 July 1852 in Scinde district, with the use of an embossed pattern on paper or wax.
		The stamps were issued by the East India Company, which first printed a 1/2a vermilion in April but never sold it to the public, then put four values (1/2a, 1a, 2a, 4a) on sale in October.

	Postage stamps and postal history of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The stamps of the 1920s were dominated by the Series of 1922, the first new design of stamps to appear in a generation.
		Stamp printing was switching from a flat plate press to a rotary press while these stamps were in use, and most come in two perforations as a result; 11 for flat plate, and 11x10.5 for rotary.
		Beginning in 1948, the Congress of the United States began to push the Post Office for stamps proposed by constituents, leading to a relative flood of obscure stamps that was not well-regulated until the formation of the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC) in 1957.
