Locals provided services the United States Post Office Department (USPOD) did not offer. Some locals operated in association with the USPOD. In addition, some locals offered services that overlapped those offered by other independent mail carriers and express companies. Many locals issued their own stamps. Stamp collectors have conducted intensive research to identify local stamps and their origins, partly to separate genuine from faked stamps. This bibliography is presented to promote the study of locals in the National Postal Museum Branch of the Smithsonian Institution Libraries. Sources are presented under the following categories: books; journal articles; special publications; auction catalogs; stamp catalog; and indexes.(AEF) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

Largest known block from the Charles, Kipper and West printing The first issue of Upper Bongoland, and its associated postal history, represents a microcosm of the many stamp collecting aspects that make the hobby fascinating. In 1865, printing technologies and postal services were rapidly developing; many unique developmental examples are shown in this material. Most developments have their origins in the Bongolese recognition of the need to tax and control communications and commerce between territories by providing a monopolistic service. As a result of the inimitable position of Upper Bongoland in global postal services development, the first issue of this little known country has become a fruitful area for philatelic study. Following the well documented 1858 Civil War, and the overthrow of the Monarchy, the Kingdom of Bongoland was constituted into the Federation of Bongoland with three provinces: Upper, Lower and Central Bongoland. In 1864 Upper Bongoland seceded from the Federation. At that time the Federation postage stamps were declared invalid in the former province and, after an emergency period, in 1865 Upper Bongoland released its first postage stamp issue comprising the single 15 bongos adhesive stamp.

  • British Stamp Exhibitions a Priced Catalogue of Sheets, Cards, Labels and Presentation Packs
    British Stamp Exhibitions A Priced Catalogue of Sheets, Cards, Labels and presentation packs. Glenn H Morgan Graham M Wilson Third Edition CONTENTS Foreword 2 Preface 4 Acknowledgements 5 Introductory notes 6 Exhibitions and souvenirs 11 Appendices Stamp 1990 App 1 1 FOREWORD Foreword to the first edition; by James Negus FRPSL By his enterprise in writing British Stamp Exhibitions , Glenn Morgan has placed the study of souvenir material on the serious footing that it has long demanded. I very much welcome his work. Hitherto, anyone attempting to collect in this Cinderella field will have had as guide for souvenir sheets only the checklist added as an appendix to Gerald Rosen's catalogue of British local stamps. It is now nearly twenty years out of date and, though helpful in giving some sort of idea, it is bereft of the detail the specialist needs. It was a pioneering effort in its day, launched against the prejudice that airily dismisses souvenirs as unworthy of collection. Unfortunately, however, Rosen's listing is not free from error and the many omissions made a more thorough treatment necessary. This is now achieved by the present work. For souvenir labels, Dr. Chris Chatfield's splendid catalogue published in 1991 happily transformed that aspect and they now present fewer problems. It had been a particular pleasure when Glenn asked me for an appraisal of his draft for a catalogue and invited my collaboration. I found he had been working, albeit independently, on lines similar to myself in bringing together as much information as could be traced. He had already evolved a satisfactory format for a true catalogue listing and had written most of the contents; I gladly added my own data, stressing my conviction that the more detail it could contain the better.
