There is probably no amusement of the present day more popular and instruc­ tive than that of collecting Foreign Postage Stamps, and the hope that we can add to the present number of collectors has induced us to write these few lines. 1 Postage Stamps were first issued in Great Britain in the year 1840, and from time to time have been adopted by other countries, our own Government first issuing them in 1847, and now there is scarcely a country in the world that has not acceded to this method of pre-paying postage, so that it must be at once ap­ parent to eve**y intelligent person, that there is a vast deal of information gained from the study of these labels, coming as they do from every part of the world, and bearing on their face, either the arms of the State or portrait of the ruler, and in nearly all cases the currency of the country where used, so that uncon­ sciously the collector is made acquainted with the Geography, History and Cur­ rency of the various nations.

    British Penny Black, May 6, 1840 by John F

    Historic Events: British Penny Black, May 6, 1840 by John F. Dunn Portions of this article are taken from an article by Philip Ward in the Mekeel’s Weekly of January 1, 1940. History: The Post Office of Great Britain as a state monopoly dates from the time of Queen Elizabeth I, who reigned from 1558 to 1603, although it was not fully established until 1609, and more than two centuries later that Britain became the first nation to issue postage stamps. Great Britain #1 This took place a few years after Queen Victoria acceded to the throne and began her reign of more than 63 years. That year, 1837, was an important one in the events leading up to the issuance, on May 1, 1840 for use starting May 6, 1840, of the world’s first postage stamp, the British Penny Black; for it was in 1837 that the father of the first postage stamp, Sir Rowland Hill, published a pamphlet promoting penny postage and the use of a postage stamp to pay for it. Hill first started showing a serious interest in postal reform in 1835. At that time the need for postal reform was obvious. Not only were the rates complex and the handling of the mail cumbersome—every letter needed to be recorded. In addition, most of the mail was sent unpaid, with the postage cost to be collected from the recipient. At a time when Britain was becoming a far-flung commercial empire, such a system simply did not work. One of those in government who were aware of Hill’s interest in postal reform was Robert Wallace, a member of Parliament, who was a leading advocate for postal reform.

  • Masonry on Postage Stamps)

    Masonry on Postage Stamps)

    Masonic Philately (Masonry on Postage Stamps) By definition, philately is the in-depth research and study of postage stamps. By example, it is making the observation that in a pile of postage stamps that all appear to be the same type; closer examination will reveal different kinds of paper, different watermarks embedded in the paper, different cancellations, variations in color shades, or a different gauge of perforations around the edge of the stamps. It follows that Masonic Philately involves any Masonic related image or event that is celebrated by the issuance of that particular stamp. It was on the 6th May 1840, that the first adhesive backed postage stamp in the world was issued in Great Britain. At first glance there is no overt Masonic tie to this stamp, but upon some in- depth research we find that it was in fact printed by an engraver named Jacob Perkins, who was also an American Freemason. The Penny Black stamp, printed by a Freemason Other countries quickly followed suit, and within a few years the first serious stamp collectors appeared on the scene. The objective of Masonic Philately was the furtherance of Masonic research via the media of postage stamps, the dissemination of knowledge gained and the quiet enjoyment of this interesting hobby. The area of study now includes special event and First Day of Issue covers (FDC’s)postcards and postal seals related to the Fraternity, Masonic cancellations, Famous Masons on stamps, as well as Anti-Masonic themes on stamps. Modern Masonic First day cover 1 Topical collections can include envelopes, called ‘covers’, that have newly issued stamps postmarked on the first day of use, or older stamps with postmarks from a significant city, such as Truth, Oregon, Wisdom, Montana, or Temperance, Alabama.
