Chris does not think that this is a registered letter because there is no such manuscript inscription on the cover, nor is there the usual red oval Hong Kong registration hand stamp for the period.

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).

This work is the result of thirty years of studies and researches. The science of it was at first for me only an amusement; it became gradually the subject of labors of all sorts, unrelated to my profession, but full of ever renewed pleasures. The collection of stamps is no longer a mania which one need defend. It requires intelligence for classification, skill and care in the ar- rangement of albums, and procures a great quantity of geographical, historical, ethnographic, linguistic, com- mercial and industrial information. I have reunited in this series of chapters the phases of knowledge through which one passes in collecting stamps. Dr. Legrand. INTRODUCTION. Origin of Timbrology. " Timbrophilism, " love of stamp collecting, is not an- cient in the history of humanity, but it is more extensive than other varieties of love of collections.

    sábado, 29 de septiembre de 2018 A STAMP FOR CANADA, & THE RPSC Andrés Cadena (left), Chief of the Philatelic Service of Ecuador, and Jim Taylor Jim Taylor When I look at the stamps in my album, I often marvel at how beautiful they are, and I wonder what it must be like to put pen to paper and actually design a stamp. Well, a couple of years ago, I got that chance. I was attending an international philatelic exhibition in Ecuador to mark 150 years of postage in that country. (1) Organizers were looking for stamps designs to commemorate the event, and I thought, “Why not?”. Initially, the idea was to issue a sheet of stamps with all of the countries involved to publicize, and promote, the exhibition. Each of the 20 participating countries was asked to submit a design incorporating a scene from their homeland, and their flag. The job fell to me because of my connection, and involvement with the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada. Unlike many of the entrants, I threw myself fully into the job at hand, and created an „essay‟, which is what a stamp in the design stage is called. My design included Canada‟s flag, the RPSC logo, and a picture of a well-known Canadian stamp. I mean, who could resist the offer to design a postage stamp representing Canada and the Royal? I have many design ideas teaming in my brain, and this was just one of them. I‟ve always liked the two cent Canadian stamp, with an engraved polar bear, designed by John Crosby (1925-2016).

WASHINGTON — In a move to celebrate the grand opening of the William H. Gross Gallery at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum and promote October as National Stamp Collecting Month, the Postal Service dedicated a new $2 version of the most publicized stamp error in U.S. history today — the 24-cent 1918 Curtiss Jenny Inverted airmail stamp. The $12 Stamp Collecting: Inverted Jenny souvenir sheet is available nationwide today by visiting usps.com/stamps, calling 800-STAMP-24 (800-782-6724) or by visiting Post Offices. Two eerie occurrences took place surrounding the nation’s first airmail flight. The pilot got lost, 2 flew in the wrong direction and crashed. And due to a printing error of the stamp created to commemorate this historic event, the biplane depicted on the 24-cent Curtiss Jenny airmail stamp was upside down. A sheet of 100 stamps bearing this error was sold to the public. One stamp sold at auction in 2007 for $977,500. “The stamp is much more than a misprint,” said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe in dedicating the stamp. “It also symbolizes the Postal Service’s pioneering role in American history.

Her motto “Stamp Collecting.... fun for the whole family” reflects the way Virginia make her business decisions. Subway has everything a stamp collector might need from stamp hinges to the highest quality deluxe hingeless albums. Subway guarantees customer satisfaction and will exchange or refund any product you are not satisfied with. Hugh’s father, Simon E Goldberg was a lifelong stamp collector. In the evenings he made stamp packets from duplicates and lots, and sold them from displays he placed in luncheonettes, cigar and candy stores. In the late 1940’s Simon, using his own collection, opened a stamp collecting department in the corner of a cousin’s camera shop in Brooklyn (NY). The business quickly grew and in 1952 Simon made the move to world famous “Nassau Street” (New York City) when he purchased Subway Stamp Shop (est. 1931). The store was located in the subway arcade at 87 Nassau Street (hence the name Subway) until Subway relocated to larger quarters on the 2nd floor at 111 Nassau Street. Nassau street was the home of hundreds of stamp collecting companies from the 1930’s thru the 1970’s. Stamp collectors and dealers both headed straight for Nassau street when visiting New York. For many years Subway Stamp Shop’s advertisements started with the line “Nassau Street - where stamp collecting began.
