1920’s Stamps
The U.S. stamps of the 1920s were dominated by the Series of 1922, the first new design of stamps to appear in a generation. The lower values depicted various Presidents, with the 5c particularly intended as a memorial of the recently-deceased Theodore Roosevelt, while the higher values included an "American Indian" (Hollow Horn Bear), the Statue of Liberty, Golden Gate bridge, which had yet to be built, Niagara Falls, a buffalo, the Lincoln Memorial and so forth. Stamp printing was switching from a flat plate press to a rotary press while these stamps were in use.
The 1920s saw a number of 150th anniversaries connected with the American Revolutionary War, and a number of stamps were issued in connection with those. These included the first US souvenir sheet, for the Battle of White Plains sesquicentenary, and the first overprint, reading "MOLLY / PITCHER", the heroine of the Battle of Monmouth.
In 1929, theft problems in the Midwest led to the Kansas-Nebraska overprints on the regular stamps.
The German zeppelins were of much interest during this period, and in 1930 the U.S. Postal Department issued special stamps to be used on the Pan-American flight of Graf Zeppelin.
