A silver-red Boeing 707 from New York landed at London airport. A crowd of press reporters, newsreel-cameramen and others milled around, filled with excitement. Mr 'Finber Kenny climbed out with the 'One-Cent' British Guiana stamp. This 'one-cent' stamp had been insured at £200,000 (Rs 46,00,(00) and was specially brought by a 'bodyguard' for display at the Stanley Gibbons Catalogue Centenary Exhibition in London, Next morning that priceless piece of paper was the topic of the day. All the papers carried headlines on it and the BBC did a special programme with a close-up of the stamp. What was so remarkable about a scrap of old black-and-magenta paper? The story of this stamp is very interesting. In earlier days the stamps of British Guiana were printed by a British printer, Waterlow &' .Sons. In 1856, the stock of stamps was exhausted but a fresh supply had failed to arrive. So the postmaster hurriedly had 4-cent stamps printed locally using the existing design, the seal of. the colony­ a ship and the motto 'Damus Petimusque Vicis sim' (We give and we seek in turn).

  • Along the Shantung Railway, China; German Postal Administration 1900 - 1914
    Exhibit Synopsis Prepared for NAPEX 2019 Along the Shantung Railway, China; German Postal Administration 1900 - 1914 EXHIBIT: This single frame postal history exhibit uses covers and their postal markings to follow the development of the German postal system associated with The Shantung Railway during its construction and after its completion. BACKGROUND TO THE EXHIBIT: In 1898 Germany and China entered into a treaty through which Germany obtained a lease of Kiautschou Bay and adjacent land area. A fifty Kilometer (km) “Neutral Zone” was established around the bay in which China could not change laws without German approval. Concessions for establishment of railroads and of mining rights within Shantung province were granted to Germany. Between 1900 and 1904 a Germany company constructed a railway with a mainline of 395 km (245 mi) from the port of Tsingtau in the leased territory to the Shantung provincial capital of Tsinanfu. During early construction, German Marines were sent into the neutral zone to put down unrest brought on by the construction. Military field post offices were established to serve these men, and they later became civilian post offices of the Kiautschou postal system. Once the railway opened, a special railcar on each through train held a railway post office that accepted mail at stations along the railway. As the railway construction proceeded, temporary railway postal agencies were established near the railhead at construction bases. Also, during the construction period, four regular German post offices in China were opened in towns along the railroad. Each of these developments is represented by covers in this exhibit.

  • 60012 Accepted 5/21/2008
    Postal Regulatory Commission Submitted 5/29/2008 11:46:31 Filing ID: 60012 Accepted 5/21/2008 May 21, 2008 Good afternoon. I appreciate the invitation to be with you all, here in Flagstaff today, and to offer what I hope may be food for thought – and more – regarding the present re-consideration of the notions of Universal Service, the Universal Service Obligation , and the Postal Monopoly, and to join in on the discussion of these important topics. I am here as the owner and publisher of The Flute Network. We are a small entirely volunteer entity now closing in on the end of our 24 th year of service as a “bulletin board service” for flutists, flute teachers, and the people who love these kinds of folks. In addition to a website presence (which has become absolutely requisite in recent years for businesses of all kinds), we continue to organize and publish an adletter of typically 8 – 12 pages, which goes out free of charge 9 times a year, now to some 6,100 different subscribers nationwide. It is on behalf of our subscribers, and all those whom we serve by including their notices, that we’ve been tracking the flow of Flute Network mailings over the years. As with most such things, the timely receipt of our mailings is a large part of what keeps them valuable – for example, it does no good to learn of a concert or other event that one might have wanted to attend, two weeks after it happened. What is frustrating is when this kind of thing happens and those notices had actually been mailed three weeks before those events, and by the Post Office’s own standards should have been received by all in plenty of time.

    Index to The Airpost Journal Vol 61-79 1990-2008 Index to THE AIRPOST JOURNAL VOLUMES 61 - 79 Page Section 1 Introduction 2 Airpost Journal Index 59 Author Index INTRODUCTION I have been a member of the American Air Mail Society for many years and during that time I have not done anything useful, except the payment of annual dues. One of the rules I have always adopted is if you are a member of a Society you should do something to further the cause of that body. My opportunity came when I read the President's Message in the December 2008 Air Mail Journal that he wanted somebody to up date the Index of the Air Post Journal so I volunteered little knowing of the task that I was undertaking. I am not a professional indexer but have had a little experience in indexing magazines in the UK. The task was to index the magazines from 1990 to 2008 (228 magazines) roughly in line with the index published in 1992. As previously stated the index continues from the previous edition except that I have included items from Letters to the Editor. I feel that there is much information contained in these letters which is of value to aerophilatelists. To quote the previous index "The APJ Index is meant to be a document helpful, but not comprehensive" and I have tried to continue in this vein. That said I hope that the Index will prove to be of some use. Needless to say any errors, omissions etc are entirely down to me.
