  • United States Columbian Exposition Issue of 1893
    United States Columbian Exposition Issue of 1893 Bill Gustafson A set of mint Columbian Exposition stamps from my US mint collection -1- Columbian Exposition Issue The first commemorative stamps issued in the United States were printed for the World’s Colombian Exposition held in Chicago, Illinois from May 1 to October 30, 1893. This Exposition celebrated the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. There was some controversy over the initial printing of these stamps. Printing contracts required the printing companies to go out to bid. However, the Postmaster John Wanamaker executed a new contract with the American Banknote Company for the printing of the Colombian stamps without any competitive bidding process. This allowed the company to charge 17c per thousand stamps in contrast to the 7.45c per thousand rate charged for the 1890 definitive series. The Columbian issue was the last set of stamps to be printed by a private company for many years. During early 1894, the American Bank Note Company failed to secure a renewal of its stamp contract because the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing submitted a lower bid. The Bureau then had a monopoly on US. Stamp production until 1944 when a private company produced the Overrun Countries series, which required special multicolor printing. Fifteen denominations of the series were placed on sale on Monday, January 2, 1893. They were available nationwide, not restricted to the Exposition. This was the largest number of stamps ever offered in a single series with the unprecedented inclusion of stamps with denominations of $1, $2, $3, $4 and $5.
