  • 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

    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.

    U. S. Airmail Kenneth Pruess (Slide 1 - Title) (Slide 2 - Kinds of Stamps) This program will take a brief look at the types of air mail items listed in Scott’s U.S. Specialized catalog. Note that all Scott catalog numbers include the letter “C” as part of the number. (Slide 3 - C3) The first airmail stamp was the 24-cent value which paid for service between Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and New York. This service began May 15, 1918. (Slide 4 - C3a) The most famous of all air mail stamps is probably this stamp with inverted center, commonly known as the “inverted Jenny”. (Slide 5 - C2) The fee was reduced to 16 cents for this tri-city service on July 15. (Slide 6 - C1) The fee was again reduced to 6 cents on December 18. So these stamps are numbered in the reverse order to that in which they were issued. (Slide 7 - C4-6) On July 1, 1924 service began between New York and San Francisco. This was divided into 3 zones with 8 cents per zone. Thus the complete trip cost 24 cents. (Slide 8 - Omaha to California) This cover went through 2 zones, requiring 16 cents postage. (Slide 9 - To Germany) This cover did not go by air. But the stamps were valid for all postage and covered the cost of postage plus registration to Germany. (Slide 10 - C10a Lindberg) The 10 cent stamp was issued in both sheet form and as booklet panes of 3. This paid the domestic 10-cent rate now in effect in 1927.
  • Statistical Estimates of Rare Stamp Populations David L

    Statistical Estimates of Rare Stamp Populations David L

    Statistical Estimates of Rare Stamp Populations David L. Herendeen and Gary C. White ABSTRACT. This paper describes a statistical method for estimating the population of rare stamps from auction catalogs, price lists, expert certificates, and other generally available records. The method presented was developed by biologists to estimate animal populations. Such estimates are done by first capturing, marking, and releasing speci- mens and then recapturing them. From these data, statistics may be developed to estimate the total population. The latest-generation computer software used for such analyses, called MARK, was developed by Gary C. White and others at Colorado State University. This paper explains how MARK may be used by everyday philatelists interested in esti- mating the number of rare or very scarce stamps or covers in their collecting area. The methods described do not require one to be a mathematician to use them successfully. The methodology is then applied to four test cases in order to illustrate the efficacy of the approach. PHILATELIC BACKGROUND One of the most difficult tasks facing the stamp collector, researcher, and exhibitor is determining the rarity of particular stamps, whether alone or on cover. This is important for exhibitors because it allows them to make claims as to the rarity of items in their col- lections in a quantitative manner. This is usually done with statements such as “number reported,” “number recorded,” “number seen by the exhibitor,” or, most important, number according to a recognized expert or group of experts with published results. Generally, such numbers are based on censuses conducted by a specialist, or groups of specialists, often over prolonged periods of time.

    Sites of Memory of Atlantic Slavery in European Towns with an Excursus on the Caribbean Ulrike Schmieder1

    Cuadernos Inter.c.a.mbio sobre Centroamérica y el Caribe Vol. 15, No. 1, abril-setiembre, 2018, ISSN: 1659-0139 Sites of Memory of Atlantic Slavery in European Towns with an Excursus on the Caribbean Ulrike Schmieder1 Abstract Recepción: 7 de agosto de 2017/ Aceptación: 4 de diciembre de 2017 For a long time, the impact of Atlantic slavery on European societies was discussed in academic circles, but it was no part of national, regional and local histories. In the last three decades this has changed, at different rhythms in the former metropolises. The 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in France (1998) and the 200th anniversary of the prohibition of the slave trade in Great Britain (2007) opened the debates to the broader public. Museums and memorials were established, but they coexist with monu- ments to slave traders as benefactors of their town. In Spain and Portugal the process to include the remembrance of slavery in local and national history is developing more slowly, as the impact of slave trade on Spanish and Portuguese urbanization and in- dustrialization is little known, and the legacies of recent fascist dictatorships are not yet overcome. This article focuses on sites of commemoration and silent traces of slavery. Keywords Memory; slave trade; slavery; European port towns; Caribbean Resumen Durante mucho tiempo, la influencia de la esclavitud atlántica sobre sociedades euro- peas fue debatida en círculos académicos, pero no fue parte de historias nacionales, regionales y locales. En las últimas tres décadas esto ha cambiado a diferentes ritmos en las antiguas metrópolis. El 150 aniversario de la abolición de la esclavitud en Francia (1998) y el bicentenario de la prohibición del tráfico de esclavizados en Gran Bretaña (2007) abrieron los debates a un público más amplio.
