03-14-2023-1502 - POSTAGE STAMPS (1959) [PHOSPHOR GUIDE] {MACHINE MAIL SORT}

Postage stamps

Phosphor banded stamps first appeared in 1959 as guides for machines to sort mail.[19] Around the world many varieties exist with different amounts of banding.[20] Postage stamps are sometimes collected by whether or not they are "tagged" with phosphor (or printed on luminescent paper).
