Welcome to the U.S. stamped envelopes and wrappers home page.

Purpose: The purpose of the web pages linked to below is to help you identify the Scott catalog design number for non-airmail and non-official stamped envelopes and wrappers. That number plus the paper color will generally lead you to the Scott number of the item you are trying to identify.

How to contribute: Feedback about this page is welcomed and should be e-mailed to info@vfthomas.com or sent by traditional mail to U.S. Envelope Identifier, c/o V. F. Thomas Co.; P. O. Box 400; Southwest Harbor, ME 04679.






Stamped envelopes and wrappers for regular mail (i.e., not airmail and not official mail) have been issued in the denominations below (in cents unless otherwise stated). In addition, there were several surcharges. Some of these denominations were featured on only one or a few envelopes, but others, particularly the 1-, 2-, and 3-cent denominations, cover many Scott #s. When a key is developed for a particular denomination, a link to that key will be provided. To begin identifying U.S. stamped envelopes and wrappers, click on the denomination below that you are interested in.
