I do not know if formal permission to reproduce the John Wilson actual pages was sought, nor do I know how, when and where the origi - nals were obtained – certainly not from me. By this time, demand for information was still growing, and in line with my belief that research information should be made as freely available as possible, I placed my entire transcription of the report as a free-to-download resource on the website of the West Africa Study Cir - cle, and there it is still, under the title of “The Wartime Postal History Collector's Answer to a Thousand Questions.” The title does reflect the truth; the information in the report is an amazing resource and it is yours for the asking. The importance of the CAA report lies in its validity. The text was typed year by year, possibly month by month, by people who did not need to guess, surmise or express personal opinions.

  • U.S. Postal Service Mail Addressing Guidelines
    U.S. Postal Service Mail Addressing Guidelines Address Placement Placement of the address on the face of an envelope should conform to the following U. S. Postal Service specifications. • The address should be in an area, one inch from each side of the envelope. • The top of the address should be no more than 2 3/4 inches from the bottom of the envelope and the bottom no more than 5/8's of an inch from the bottom of the envelope. • The area 4 1/2 inches by 5/8 's of an inch in the lower right hand corner of the envelope MUST remain empty for bar code placement for any maul that is processed by the Mail Center. Enclosures Correspondence Mail of any kind for transport by the U. S. Postal Service must be enclosed in an appropriate envelope or parcel and sealed. The type of enclosures determine the mailing classification. Non-mailables Several items are listed by the U. S. Postal Service as non-mailable in envelopes: • paper clips • metal pieces • glass, chips • sand. These can jam or damage the mailing machines and can cause serious injury to Mail Center and Postal employees. The following are also classified as non-mailables and subject to return to sender: envelopes and cards less than 3 1/2 inches in height or 5 inches in length. It is recommended that when mailing questionable items to U. S. or foreign destinations, the mailer should contact the Mail Center for assistance. All foreign countries also impose various restrictions. Brochures, letters and newsletters being mailed without an envelope must be folded consistently and must be tabbed with the recommended number of tabs.

  • US Airmail Kenneth Pruess
    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.

  • Phil the Postage Stamp Chapter 6
    The Cover Story War Dog Fund Program in World War II by Phil Fettig Many of us grew up watching Lassie & Rin-tin-tin perform heroic deeds saving Timmy and chasing down evil doers on television. The truth is, animals, including dogs, have aided the development of mankind and society for thousands of years. Stamp collecting has played a part in illustrating how these working dogs have contributed. An appropriate example for stamp collectors would be Scott 4547 honoring Owney the Postal Dog (Figure A1 on Front Cover). Owney deserves a story by himself, but that will have to wait for another day. The United States issued a set of four Dogs at Work stamps in 2012 (Scott 2604-07). We are probably most familiar with a guide dog helping the sight impaired. Unfortunately, we are also used to seeing rescue dogs at scenes of disasters trying to find survivors or victims. The use of therapy dogs has been increasing and they are helping numerous people recover from both physical and mental problems. Examples of the stamps honoring these three types can be seen in Figure A2 on Front Cover. (Note: This set of stamps appears to include law enforcement working dogs in with the military as most of the training and uses are the same.) The last stamp in this set (Figure A3 on Front Cover) shows a military dog which brings us to the subject of this article. Evidence of dogs being used in warfare can be found as far back as 700 BC. The following deals with one example of how dogs were obtained for the U.S.
