The stamp is the same shape and size, 75/100 by 87/100 inch, as the 12-cent stamp of the series 1922–23, and is printed in green ink. The central design is a portrait of Benjamin Harrison within an oval with open background and is partly inclosed in a panel which is supported on either side by acanthus scrolls. Above the portrait, in a curved line, appear the words "United States postage" in white Roman letters. On a ribbon below the oval is the name "Harrison", and under this, at the bottom of the stamp, appears the word "Cents." In both lower corners, within ovals with dark backgrounds, are the white numerals "13." The entire stamp is inclosed within a cross-line border with small triangular ornaments in both upper corners.
This stamp was issued primarily for use in prepaying postage on parcels and postage and insurance fee on insured parcels amounting to 13 cents.
