Warjag,


Quote:
As long as the POSTAGE stamp is:

1. not issued before 1862
2. not a precancel
3. not a special non-firstclass service inscribed stamp (e.g., bulk rate)
4. not a discontinued class rate stamp (e.g., special delivery)
5. not a non-public use postage stamp (e.g., postage due, official...)

I think that covers most of the restrictions.


See the post at https://goscf.com/t/9173&whichpage=1 about halfway down the first page.

Yes, all US airmail stamps are still valid for any class postage. The 1968 Airlift stamp (not classified as an airmail stamp by Scott) is also valid for postage.

All the 45c airmail stamps are tagged, so you should not have any problems with the automated canceling/sorting machinery kicking it out.
