The Exhibition was originally scheduled as a New Zealand National Exhibition for November 2011 but was deferred until January due to the devastating earthquakes in Christchurch in September 2010 and February 2011. Despite not formally being a national exhibition, CPS Centennial Stamp & Postcard Exhibition was however judged at national level and the results accepted as such by the NZPF and the APF.

These were crudely produced by a Quito, Ecuador printer, La Novedad. There were 2 values, a 2 Centavos and 3 Centavos both printed on very porous card and having very primitive appearance. A second printing similar to the first [with a varied the border] was then printed later in the year by the successor to La Novedad, the printer V. Montoya of Quito. From January 1892 all cards, envelopes and letter sheets were produced and printed by the Hamilton Banknote Company of New York, USA. This was the printing company under the control of the notorious Nicholas Seebeck who supplied similar postal stationery and stamps to many Central American Republics during this period. These arrangements continued up to 1901. Then The American Banknote Company, New York and Skipper and East, London printed a series of letter cards up to 1919. No further stationery as issued until 1938 and 1939 when a series of promotional tourist cards were issued which were printed in Italy. Then nothing more came to wet the collector’s appetite until 1985 when a pair of aerogrammes were issued. Christmas postal stationery set was released in 1995. Now the Post offices is issuing regular numbered sets of postal cards, all tourist related and in full colour. They appear to be in sets of 1,000 only. Many of these cards are available on the internet thought Delcampe and EBay. The last set was issued in January 2012. I have yet to see any commercially used copies of any issue, except those I have received per favour from Ecuador collectors. Even today, postal stationery is not widely collected in Ecuador. Pre Paid Envelopes are also being issued. These are even more difficult to come by. Again the only used copies I have seen are addressed to the author. An interesting modern collectable if you can come by regular supplies. I am fortunate to have been in South America twice in the past 12 months but have yet to get the full information on these issues I need for a meaningful write-up. Plus more evidence of commercial use would be helpful. Some four years ago I wrote to the Philatelic Bureau enclosing $50 Western Union Money. No response and no returned money. 3 ` Postal Stationery Collector One envelope was distributed free to schools. Another envelope seems to be a promotion for Coca Cola. I suspect that the post cards are being issued by the Philatelic Bureau in co-operation with the Tourist Bureau. But the envelopes are coming from the General Post Office Department in a business set up similar to that used by Australia Post. 4 May 2012 5 ` Postal Stationery Collector AUSTRALIAN PRIVATE LICENCE AIRLETTERS / AEROGRAMMES 1946 TO 1969 Reported by David Collyer from material supplied by Nita Wilson and Brian Pope.

  • Certified Mail and Its First Day of Issue by Patrick Crosby a Stamp Collector Can Complete a Scott U.S
    Certified Mail and Its First Day of Issue By Patrick Crosby A stamp collector can complete a Scott U.S. back-of-the-book category with just one stamp valued at 75¢ mint or used. I’m referring to the 1955 Certified Mail stamp (Scott # FA1) which helped the U.S. Post Office Department (P.O.D.) inaugurate Certified Mail service. This stamp and Certified Mail become much more interesting when on cover, like the featured postcard’s first day of issue usage. Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield called the new Certified Mail service a “change in the registered mail service,” reducing costs to patrons and speeding delivery on at least 25 million letters a year. Registered mail requires special bundling, recording of information, and security at every handling point. For 15¢ Certified Mail would offer proof of mailing and proof of receipt with no indemnity (insurance) or special security on first-class items that have no intrinsic value as opposed to the minimum 40¢ registry fee. A patron would pay for first-class postage and the Certified Mail fee, then he would receive a numbered receipt. The mailed item would be entered into the ordinary mail stream (unless airmail or special delivery) with a two-part Certified Mail label, one part adhered to the envelope. When delivered, the carrier or postal employee was to have the receipt portion signed by a recipient, then remove the receipt portion where rouletted and return it to the delivery post office for filing. If the patron had requested a return receipt (showing when, where, and to whom an item was delivered) it would have been noted on the mailed item and a fee of 7¢ would have been paid for in postage.

    Q) WHOLE NUMBER 180 (Vol. 36, No.2) April 1980 ---------------------------- Franc!a~ Colonies "f£. Philatelist USPS ¢::~077110 ON THE USE OF THE 'Tn-IN-TRIANGLE MARK ON POSTAGE STAMPS Roberl G. Stone Introduction of the T Cachets The T-in-triangle mark of France and colonies to indicate postage is due was introduced in the early 1800s in France, but not extensively used until after GPU/UPU came in, and in the colonies it appeared around 1876. Ap­ parently, the UPU rules for marking covers at origin to show that additional postage is due at destination, on international mail, stimulated the French and colonial postal administrations to supply nearly all offices with the T-in­ triangle. At the same time they decided to make it the practice to apply the T also on domestic mail; which was probably seen to be desirable because the colonies as a group had adhered to the UPU separately from France, and mail between colonies and France had something of the character of international mail. The UPU had not yet recommended use of postage-due stamps as a means of collecting the due charges, and the early French postage-due stamps were limited to local domestic mail. In 1881 France finally issued dues stamps for general use on all types of insufficiently franked mail. Several colonies issued locally-printed dues stamps for domestic mail only, between 1876 and the 1880s. In 1884 the General Issues of dues for the colonies were first printed and made available to those colonies that requested them. From 1905 on some colonies were supplied definitive issues of due~ but the General Issues were still used someplaces until the 19208.

  • Invalid Use of a Postal Card Stamp by Patrick Crosby What Was Bill Johnson Thinking? Perhaps He Wasn’T Thinking
    Invalid Use of a Postal Card Stamp By Patrick Crosby What was Bill Johnson thinking? Perhaps he wasn’t thinking. He tried to mail a letter using a 1¢ cut-out from a postal card. Eventually he paid the proper 3¢ letter rate. A few clues that something was amiss would tip off a postal clerk in Rochester, NY. First off, a clerk would be aware of the color scheme being used on U.S. stamps—green equals a 1c stamp, the card rate, and violet equals a 3¢ stamp, the basic letter rate. So a lone green stamp on an envelope is a red flag. And then there is mutilation. Only the Postmaster General could determine the government postal card size. Any change in a postal card’s size is considered mutilation and “…renders the stamp impressed thereon valueless.” Bill had neatly cut around the stamp portion of the reply half of a message-reply card and glued it to the envelope. In effect, on February 4, 1941, he mailed a letter without postage. Underneath the later added 3¢ violet stamp is a “Due 3 cents.” marking. A straight-line “Feb 5-1941” shows up as a date control marking. Then Bill comes forward with the proper postage and “Postage subsequently paid by writer” is added. A parcel/general purpose dateless roller cancels the stamp. The letter is then on its way with a second Rochester, NY postmark. If there was a chance that a postal clerk could miss the above irregularities and went to send the letter at the card rate, the item was still taller (top to bottom) at 3¾” than the 3 9/16” allowed by postal regulations for cards at the time.

  • Mulready Stationery
    BRITISH PHILATELIC BULLETIN is for... Mulready stationery Colin Baker charts the brief life of William Mulready’s illustrated envelopes, commissioned to grace the first ever prepaid stationery of 1840 One of the innovations that came with the postal reforms of 1840 was the introduction of prepaid envelopes and letter sheets; the Id values were printed in black and the 2d values in blue. These could be used for letters sent anywhere in the L K, weighing up to half an ounce and one ounce respectively. Neither the envelopes nor the letter sheets were gummed (it would be another five to ten years before that was possible) and they had to be folded by hand and sealed with a blob of wax or fastened with a wafer seal - a small piece of paper carrying a design or message that was stuck over the point of the flap to hold it in place. They were launched on the same day the new Id and 2d adhesive stamps - the famous Penny Black and Twopenny Blue - came into use. It was assumed that the convenience of Fig 1 prepaid stationery would make it an instantly popular choice. So, while the printed envelopes and letter sheets were stocked in large numbers at every post office, the adhesive stamps were harder to find - on the issue date of 6 May 1840, there were only limited supplies of the Penny Black and none at all of the Twopenny Blue. The stationery was illustrated by William Mulready, a talented artist and member of the Royal Academy, influenced by Rowland Hill and Henry Cole (the two men in charge of introducing the postal reforms).
