  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The First Commemorative Postal Issue by Patrick Crosby
    The First Commemorative Postal Issue by Patrick Crosby Did you know that a post boy, the namesake of our monthly Post Boy journal, appeared on the first United States, and perhaps the world’s first, commemorative postal issue of any type? He is shown on a galloping horse along with a multi-line telegraph and an express train with mail car, showing how far U.S. communications had come by 1876. But this is not an adhesive postage stamp like the 1893 Columbian Commemorative series, this a stamped Two colors of the 1876 Centennial envelope, red envelope. on commercial size envelope, and green on personal size envelope. A post boy on the 2¢ stamp (shown) is from an 1869 postage stamp series that also included the scenes of The Landing of Columbus and The Declaration of Independence. However, these are considered to be regular, definitive stamps and not commemoratives. As part of the United States’ 100th anniversary celebration of independence, Philadelphia, PA hosted the 1876 Centennial International Exposition of American Cultural and Industrial Progress. The exposition was an overall Scott #113 success with 30,864 exhibits of products, art, and manufacturing from almost every country in the world. Back in 1871 when planning started there was apprehension over Great Britain since, we had secured our independence from them. Surprisingly, Great Britain and her colonies provided 3,584 of the exhibits! The exposition opened May 10 and closed November 10, 1876. Instead of an adhesive stamp or a postal card, the USPOD (United States Post Office Department) decided to issue a commemorative envelope which would be printed and available only at the exposition.

  • A 65-Cent Graf Zeppelin on Postcard
    A 65¢ Graf Zeppelin on Postcard By Patrick Crosby In the June 2017 issue of Post Boy Stan Cronwall tries to interest members so inclined to collect zeppelin stamps. It stirred my interest to dig deeper into the only zeppelin cover I have, and I have discovered other usages I would like for my collection. But there is no cheap way out. After World War I Germany was forced to make war reparations to the allied nations to cover their costs. Germany paid with cash, most of their fleet of ships, all of their submarines, their airships, their colonial empire, and otherwise. The debt to the United States was $800,000 and a deal was eagerly accepted by the U.S. which included that the German dirigible maker Luftschiffbau Zeppelin would build and deliver (as a test of range and airworthiness) an LZ-126 airship. The company was the world’s premier builder of dirigibles and it had been originally started by Count Ferdinand von Graf Zeppelin. On October 16, 1924 the airship was successfully delivered to the U.S. Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, New Jersey, and immediately christened Los Angeles. It was part of the U.S. Navy, became the most successful U.S. dirigible ever, and was one of the few to ever live to be decommissioned. The Los Angeles is seen on the view side of my postcard (below), an appropriate image for the address side. The Graf Zeppelin airmail issue (Scott C13-15) was for the postage of cards and envelopes for portions of a round trip transatlantic flight of the newer, larger LZ-127, named Graf Zeppelin.

    Bibliography of Cuban Aerophilately by Ernesto Cuesta Also see the subordinate "Bibliography of the Cuban Postal Rocket Experiment" accessible from the main page of the full bibliography after the main bibliography entries. <AAMC> American Air Mail Catalog. American Air Mail Catalog Subtitled: “Reference Listing of the Airposts of the World” An official publication of the American Airmail Society. Five editions have been published since 1935. The Cuban sections in each of the editions are detailed in the entries following. Excellent reference on first flights, routes, postal history of air mail services, and background information for first flight covers dispatched to and from Cuba. Following is an overview of the five editions provided by Perham C. Nahl, the only editor who has worked on all five editions. The first edition "Section One" was issued in 1935. It was a 130-page summary of U.S. Contract Air Mail (CAM) Routes through 1934 (no references to Cuba). The second edition, issued in 1940, was the first to go beyond CAM covers and includes a special section on Cuban flights (this too was called "First Edition"). It was 912 pages including bound supplements in 1941 and 1943. The third edition consisted of three volumes: 1947, 1950, and 1959 with a total of 1575 pages.
