He was appointed Postmaster General by President Benjamin Harrison in 1889, serving a controversial four-year term that included firing 30,000 postal employees and issuing poorly-made stamps. 3 ½” x 4 ½”.

Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
