  • United States Columbian Exposition Issue of 1893
    United States Columbian Exposition Issue of 1893 Bill Gustafson A set of mint Columbian Exposition stamps from my US mint collection -1- Columbian Exposition Issue The first commemorative stamps issued in the United States were printed for the World’s Colombian Exposition held in Chicago, Illinois from May 1 to October 30, 1893. This Exposition celebrated the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. There was some controversy over the initial printing of these stamps. Printing contracts required the printing companies to go out to bid. However, the Postmaster John Wanamaker executed a new contract with the American Banknote Company for the printing of the Colombian stamps without any competitive bidding process. This allowed the company to charge 17c per thousand stamps in contrast to the 7.45c per thousand rate charged for the 1890 definitive series. The Columbian issue was the last set of stamps to be printed by a private company for many years. During early 1894, the American Bank Note Company failed to secure a renewal of its stamp contract because the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing submitted a lower bid. The Bureau then had a monopoly on US. Stamp production until 1944 when a private company produced the Overrun Countries series, which required special multicolor printing. Fifteen denominations of the series were placed on sale on Monday, January 2, 1893. They were available nationwide, not restricted to the Exposition. This was the largest number of stamps ever offered in a single series with the unprecedented inclusion of stamps with denominations of $1, $2, $3, $4 and $5.

  • Columbian Exposition Issue 1893 the Collection Presented Herein Comprises 35 Years of Collecting Primarily with the Help of a Great Stamp Consultant Andrew Levitt
    Columbian Exposition Issue 1893 The collection presented herein comprises 35 years of collecting primarily with the help of a great stamp consultant Andrew Levitt. This was truly a wonderful experience, and a great opportunity for an avid stamp collector. The collection was exhibited in 1996 at Amphilex in New York City at the Biltmore hotel , as 'anonymous' through Andrew Levitt. Both pieces shown below are part of this collection. Over the years the Columbian Stamp Co. has owned and offered for sale or represented buyers of many of these items. It is fitting that Harry Hagendorf of Columbian Stamp Co. represent these items. -Anonymous, Feb. 2009 Figure 1 shows the largest recorded Columbian stamps, $49.34 on a piece of registered package wrapper, mailed from Bangor, Maine, on February 19, 1897. Among the 25 Columbian series stamps are a strip of three of the $5.00 stamp at the bottom and a single $5.00 stamp at the top. Fig.1 Largest recorded used multiple on package wrapper. The PF certified the largest reported multiple, a block of 14 without gum, on October 24, 1991. (PF Certificate #250,000). See Figure 2. Fig.2 Largest recorded $5.00 stamp multiple.

  • Early Use of US Postage Stamps, 1842-1904
    Early Distribution And Use OfPostage Stamps In The United States 1842 " 19°.:( This exhibit will show early usages of postage stamps and selected examples of postal stationery in the United States between 1842 and 1904. Very few stamps issued in this period were distributed to offices with instructions to release them on a specific date. In the period before the 1893 issuance of the Columbian series, true first day of issue covers exist only when rate changes were announced with sufficient lead-time for the Post Office Department to prepare new stamps and to distribute those new stamps to the post offices. Commencing with the 1893 Columbian series, commemorative stamps were announced to postmasters in writing with specific instructions as to when the stamps were to be released to the public. Other than for the commemorative stamp series and for stamps required to meet rate change laws, there was usually no pre-release publicity for new issues. The start of the Civil War resulted in a rare instance ofstamps being rushed into production and distribution was automatic as soon as adequate supplies were at hand. During the period before 1905, most new stamp releases were not sent to postmasters automatically. Generally, when a postmaster ran low of a particular stamp denomination, he ordered a new supply through the stamp agent, or directly from the Third Assistant Postmaster General. Circulars announcing some of the new stamp series were sent to postmasters. Even then, some directed that new stamp orders would be fulfilled from existing stocks before the new series would be shipped.

  • Here Are Mint Copies of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition Issue from My United States Mint Collection
    United States Trans-Mississippi Issue of 1898 Bill Gustafson Here are mint copies of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition issue from my United States mint collection. They are all in extremely fine condition with original gum. Page 1 United States Trans-Mississippi Issue of 1898 Bill Gustafson The nine United States commemorative postage stamps known as the Trans-Mississippi Issue were made to mark the 1898 Trans-Mississippi Exposition held in Omaha, Nebraska. The finely engraved stamps depict various scenes form the West. This was the second series of commemorative stamps offered by the United States Post Office, the first being the Colombian Exposition series of 1893. By 1898 the Western United States was flourishing. Thousands of wagon trains had passed and the transcontinental railroads linked the West to the East with many new states being added to the Union. To celebrate this development an international exposition was held in Omaha, Nebraska from June 1 through November 1, 1898. The Director of Publicity for the Exposition, Edward Rosewater, was publisher of the Omaha Daily Bee. On December 13, 1897, Rosewater suggested that the Post Office issue special stamps commemorating the Trans-Mississippi Exposition as it had done for the Columbian Exposition. Ten days later Postmaster James A. Gary agreed, promising a series with 5 denominations ranging from 1c to $1. Gary asked Rosewater for his ideas for stamp subjects and in response he sent drawings for the five values with the stamps having a vertical orientation. However the U.S. wound not issue a vertical commemorative stamp until 1926 with the Erickson Memorial stamp.
