  • Michigan Supplement
    Michigan Supplement Created for free use in the public domain American Philatelic Society ©2015 www.stamps.org Michigan Supplement Page – 1 Michigan Supplement The state of Michigan is located in northern portion of midwest United States. It is the only state that consists of two peninsulas. The Upper Peninsula — often referred to as “the U.P.” — is separated from the lower, main peninsula, by the Straits of Mackinac. Michigan is bordered by four and the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair, giving it the longest freshwater coastline in the world. The state also has more than 64,000 inland lakes and ponds. The state was first settled by the Native Americans. It became a part of New France when it was settled by the French in the 17th century. It came under British rule in 1763, but was ceded to the United States in 1783. The area became a part of the Northwest Territory and later a part of the Indiana Territory with the Territory of Michigan being created in 1805. Michigan became a state on January 26, 1837 — the 26th state to join the Union. The Upper Peninsula, with its natural resources, has become a tourist attraction. The headquarters for three of United States’ major automobile manufacturers are located in Detroit, on the Lower Peninsula.

  • Perforations Website: LCPSHOME.ORG Last Month Both Bill Schultz and Tom Willer Presented on the Topic of ART As Found on Stamps
    June 2020 Volume 20 Number 06 Newsletter of the Lake County (IL) Philatelic Society - Established 1933 Perforations Website: LCPSHOME.ORG Last month both Bill Schultz and Tom Willer presented on the topic of ART as found on stamps. Bill’s presentation “Opening your Personal Galley”' which gave an overview of the many samples artwork by the “Old Masters” and various styles used by artist that have been used on stamps around the word. Tom focused on one artist, Jackson Pollack. For some unknown reason has had his works depicted on many nations’ (at least 17 countries) stamps – including ours — the 1999 33c Celebrate the Century - 1940s: Abstract Expressionism (Scott 3186h). In general, one can collect most of the world’s greatest masterpieces for your own private viewing on a shoe-string budget and not have to expand your home to house (other than a bookcase or two) the collection. Stamp Lickers Beware! “THE DEADLY STAMP,” warned The Washington Post headline and announced that “Postage Stamp Tongue is a new disease.” The ailment was characterized by a sore tongue covered with red spots. Without treatment, it would likely develop into a bad sore throat. The short article concluded with simple advice for its readers: “Never lick a postage stamp with your tongue…It shows a great lack of cleanliness and hygienic knowledge.” - 1896 November 22 Washington Post (pre Amazon) This month, Jerry Nylander will present “Schermack Perforations — The Hole Story”; maybe … a story of a company that took US postage stamps, packaged them in a convenient package that later lead to the “junk mail” industry of the 20th century.
