UPU IRC Yao 2017 #17 (Type B7u), Scott #IRC15 "u" variety ["London" Design, "FORMULE C22" at upper right, 13 CENTS; Yao Records Used 1954-07-01 through 1959-04-30] VF quality. Sold, not redeemed, thus only postmark at left: Magenta two-ring "RED LODGE / MONT." dated April 20, 1959 (a few days before the end of the 13 cent rate period).

UPU IRC Yao 2017 #17 (Type B7u.s or .t), Scott #IRC16 "u" variety, surcharge variety ["London" Design, "FORMULE C22" at upper right, 13 CENTS, RUBBER STAMP SURCHARGED with Magenta "15" and with "13" CROSSED OUT BY PEN. Yao records the 15-surcharged were Used starting 1959-05-02, but with either only used that day or with an open-ended use period] VF quality. "NH", Not Sold, Not Redeemed, thus NO postmarks. The Yao listing is confusing, with two or more options: a) ".s" surcharge "ms, rs", which means manuscript and/or rubberstamp surcharge (??); b) ".t" surcharge "rs, scd", which means rubberstamp surcharge and/or ???? -- I cannot find a Yao definition for "scd". The Yao value for .s is $5 (which is more than double unsurcharged) and the Yao value for .t is $20 (which indicates it is very scarce in the Yao system). I am not sure which this, or if it is something else. Scott has a footnote that states that the individual post offices all around the country were instructed to use their own methods to surcharge from 13 to 15 cents, thus there are many different variations and styles. Thus any one style of this surcharge is likely to be extremely scarce. A couple of this item came to me long ago from the estate of the retired Postmaster of the tiny RED LODGE, MONTANA post office -- he was Postmaster during the time period including 1959 and he was a client of ours.

Scott #U82 [1870 3c green on White Wove Watermarked Paper, 140 x 84 mm, Washington] Used VF entire with extremely nice illustrated advertising (large, fancy baby carriage) imprint of "Winton & Stilwell, Manufacturers of Children"s Carriages and Sleighs, ... Binghamton, NY". Used from Binghamton, New York with cds town postmark and carved killer cancellation. Addressed to Wilkes-Barre, PA. While the envelope is not scarce, such nice advertising covers with this subject matter -- on such small-size envelopes -- are quite unusual.

1930 ENGRAVED National Philatelic Exhibition (Boston, Mass.) APS Convention labels. COMPLETE SET IN FOUR COLORS: Blue, Red, Green, Violet. Finely engraved images of the ship "Arbella" and the Massachusetts State House. Each is a superb example of the engravers art. Mint, with VF centering; the Green and Violet are NH. Beautiful labels from the "golden era" of philately. In my experience, the 1930 set is scarcer than some of the other years.

1934 "NEW JERSEY STATE STAMP SHOW / 4th ANNUAL STAMP EXHIBITION / N.J. PHILATELIC FEDERATION - Newark - 1934". Typographed with black central design picturing Washington Crossing the Delaware River (from New Jersey into Pennsylvania). Group of four frame colors (which I believe to be the complete set) in Bright Blue, Reddish Orange, Yellowish Green, and Violet. Mint, hinge remnant, with VF (3) or F-VF (1) centering. Unusual and very attractive labels from the "golden era" of philately. If I had spent more "philatelic time" in New Jersey, I might have previously encountered this set, but as of 2/2025 this set is the first such examples I have seen.

Michigan 1992 TWO Stamps on ONE Complete License: 1) 1992 Michigan Non-Resident Fishing Fee Stamp $20.35 and 2) 1992 pictorial Michigan Trout & Salmon $9.85 Fishing Stamp. Both stamps on same panel of license (which they called a "passbook". Six of the ten numbered labels (which I assume were to be attached somehow to the fish or the container they were in) are still present. Such items seem to be very seldom offered!

Scott #S1-4, the Wet Printings Complete Set [1954 10c, 25c, 50c, and $1, Wet Printing Sheet Stamps, Minute Man; Savings] Mint with hinge remnants, but these look very nice. The centering is respectively: VF, VF, XF, and F-VF. All have brilliant, fresh colors and excellent perforations. This is a surprisingly scarce set; apparently collectors put very few aside. From a collection mounted in 1960, 65 years ago! Scott 2025 $42.10 for a NH VF set.

Scott #S1a Booklet Pane of 10, but without mounting tab [1954 10c Wet Printing Booklet Stamps, Minute Man; Savings] Mint booklet pane of 10 with hinge remnants on the top stamps and NEVER HINGED on the bottom stamps. The mounting tab is not present. The centering in the pane varies, as usual, from Fine to F-VF to VF. Brilliant, fresh color. As evidenced by the 2025 Scott value of $150 for a NH pane, these panes are scarce -- very few were saved. (A regular postage stamp -- for which there is more demand -- booklet pane of such scarcity would be several hundred dollars!) Many of the extent booklet panes of this stamp only survived intact because, back in the day, the Scott "American" album had a space for this pane. From a collection mounted in 1960, 65 years ago! Scott 2025 $150 for a NH pane. Seldom offered.

April 29, 1985, Express Mail $10.75. Scott #SP674 bearing Scott #2122. This page bears the SINGLE STAMP (a version with the full pane of three also exists). This souvenir page is "scarce" because it was not automatically sent to subscribers; those who wanted to get it had to specifically order it, but many subscribers did not discover that fact until it was too late. Wonderfully fresh with XF centered stamp. The souvenir page in perfect, pristine condition, front and back. [The website image is of the actual item you will receive.]

CSA Scott #6/7 Five Cent Davis. Private "Springfield" or "Tatham" facsimile with "Facsimile / No. 205" printed on reverse in dark gray. Color similar to issued color, but on coarse yellowish paper. The Springfields were distributed by the Tatham Stamp Company from the early 1930s into the 1940s. At first they had no text on the back; per the Confederate Handbook, after the first printing they bore on the reverse either "Facsimile" or "Facsimilie" (sic). Some printings also had the Scott numbering of the pre-1940 numbering system (i.e. starting at #200). The color of the back-printing can vary with the printings. Note that the "Swiss fakes" of the 1970s have similar appearance, with a Facsimile marking on reverse, but the "Swiss fakes" back-printing used modern Scott numbers (i.e. starting with #1). Mint VF (ungummed) 4-block, lightly hinged on top pair and never hinged on lower pair. Though the Springfields were originally sold as singles, blocks, and sheets of 25, nowadays blocks are not often offered. Interesting and attractive.

CSA Scott #6/7 Five Cent Davis. Typographed FAKE that looks like the "Springfield" or "Tatham" facsimiles, but it has been typographed (letterpress printed) and the design is slightly taller than the "Springfield" facsimile. There is no back-printing. It also bears a bogus "cancellation". Yellowish, rough paper very similar to some of the "Springfields". I have not found any references in the literature to this fake creation. Since the genuine stamp is common, this was surely intended as a low-cost "packet filler". While this fake should have very modest financial value, it may be important for a reference collection.

2000 "Celebrate The Century 1900-1999" USPS book containing all ten different (Scott #3182-3191) Celebrate the Century sheets (containing 150 different stamps), issued 1998-2000, in NH VF condition in their original post office packaging. The "book" is a binder containing bound-in plastic sleeves to hold the sheets in their original packaging. The Scott 2024 catalog value for the set of sheets is $123.00. For perspective, the face value was $48.90, but a lot of these sheets have since been broken up to obtain the 150 different stamps, especially because every one of those 150 stamps fits into one or more topicals! Our total of the individual sheet selling prices is $114 and our total selling price for the set of sheets is currently $108. Our selling price of this book, with the NH VF sheets, is also the SAME as the price for the set of sheets. SHIPPING IS ADDITIONAL. If you only want the set of NH VF sheets, without the book or special packaging, it is available for the same price, but without any shipping cost in the U.S. (sheet set item #236950). Shipping cost is additional for this item.

1972 "NIXON NOW" presidential campaign label. NH VF FULL SHEET OF 117. Centering varies due to variable layout of the images VS variable layout of the perforation rows and columns. Printed in a sheet of 117, 13 columns by 9 rows, trimmed on all four outer edges (sheet margin straight edges). This sheet shows clean (no perforating) cutting on top, bottom, and right. The left was perforated and then cut. Individual labels properly sell for about $3 each (more for scarcer positions), but I have seen them offered for as much as $10 each label! This is the only full sheet I have had in 49 years! [The website image has been pieced together from a couple scans -- the item is perfect.]

Scott #1031A [1960 1-1/4c turquoise Liberty issue: Palace of the Governors; Santa Fe, New Mexico] NH FULL SHEET, with XF centering throughout, with upper right plate number 26724, bearing "NITRO / W.VA." pre-cancels positioned on the stamps sideways, reading downward, viewed from the left side. The pre-cancellation device was, in upright portrait position on typical portrait stamps, two stamps wide and ten stamps high. [Nitro has an interesting history that fits into thematic collections including chemistry, war, weapons, smokeless gunpowder, etc. Located in what became "Chemical Alley", the site was intended to be the major U.S. WWI production facility for smokeless gunpowder -- "Nitro" is short for nitrocellulose, the primary ingredient of smokeless gunpowder. WWI ended just as the plant started production. Wikipedia states that the plant "...by the time of the armistice was producing one hundred thousand pounds of high explosives per day." The town was later incorporated in 1932 with the name of Nitro. Other major chemical plants were built at Nitro, including a Monsanto facility producing Agent Orange -- and now the area is a Superfund site and is a cancer cluster.] NH full sheets of Liberty issue pre-cancels are quite unusual; while not "rare" or "greatly valuable" they are seldom found or offered. As an individual pre-cancel, the singles would sell for $1 or $2 each. [The website image has been pieced together from a couple scans -- the item is perfect.]

1953 check on Bishop National Bank, at HONOLULU, in the amount of $11.20 to a stamp dealer in New South Wales, Australia. IN NSW, an orange 2d STAMP DUTY revenue stamp was affixed to the face and canceled. A very nice piece of stamp dealer history and a nice NSW revenue document.

Scott #2122 [1985 $10.75 Eagle and Moon, Express Mail] April 29 1985 First Day Cover with Fleetwood cachet. VF stamp, but with slight crease (only visible at a certain angle; was this way before being applied to the cover). Otherwise very fresh and attractive. With very clear USPS FD cancellation, but is a postmark version only applied to covers from some of the cachet makers: The "1985" is much larger than the rest of the date and in the "94188" zip code, the "1" is taller and the "88" are quite irregularly shaped. I do not know if the Fleetwood cachet exists with other cancellation types. Unaddressed. This cachet is one of the more "in demand" FDCs for #1909. (Scott 2022 $50; dealers list $50-60 for this cachet.)

There is a clear meridian line behind the Columbus head, but I cannot determine if there is a period after CENTS, thus either Die A=1 or C=3. Interesting variety.

New Jersey Hunting / Fishing Stamps 1966-1983 Collection: Collection of New Jersey Hunting and Fishing Stamps for Trout (resident and non-resident issues), Woodcock, and Pheasant and Quail. An extremely unusual group in 4-blocks, with two issues in sheets of 10. All NH VF. All perforated unless stated. 1967 Trout, Resident and Non-Resident, in sheets of 10. ALL THE REST IN 4-BLOCKS with side margins where such exists: 1966 Trout R and NR. 1967 Woodcock. 1968 Woodcock, Trout R and NR. 1969 Woodcock, Trout R and NR. 1970 Woodcock. 1972 Trout R and NR. 1973 Woodcock. 1978 Pheasant/Quail, Trout R and NR (all rouletted). 1979 Woodcock. 1982 Pheasant/Quail, Trout R and NR (all rouletted). 1983 Woodcock (rouletted). All are listed and priced in "The Streamside Catalogue of Fish and Game Stamps" 2006 edition edited by Jan R. Wooton. The catalog prices are for Hinged stamps prior to 1976 and NH after -- I have applied the listed prices for everything even though the pre-1976 items are NH and thus should be higher. I have just applied the singles values times the number of stamps in the blocks. The individual catalog values seem quite reasonable, but they do add up. Also included are two nice accent items: metered mail envelopes from the NJ Division of Fish and Game from 1973 and 1988, as well as a 1983 booklet back cover. The total catalog value per Wooton is $1028! The 1960s items are scarce, but the others all add up quickly as well. [The website shows just a couple sample images.] [FREE SHIPPING on this item for mailing in the U.S.] Shipping cost is additional for this item.

North Carolina #SD 9 [1969 25c Soft Drinks Tax] Imperforate red on white decal on original backing of light yellow card stock imperforate horizontally with rouletting vertically. 25c denomination in black. According to the 2013 "The State Revenue Catalog", "Decals were used mostly on syrups and unmixed powders, often affixed to tags attached to syrup canisters." Though I have lived in North Carolina since 1989, and Bonnie and I collect such items from North Carolina, I had never before actually seen a single example of any of the denominations of these decals until I found five examples of this item, only two of which were in perfect condition. They seem to be very scarce. NH VF in perfect condition.

Scott #RW20 [1953 $2 deep rose brown Blue-winged Teal] Used Fine on reverse of "VIRGINIA COUNTY RESIDENT License To Hunt and Fish -- $1.00". Though the license has the usual "wallet creases", the duck stamp has not been creased! Virginia did not start using actual waterfowl hunting stamps until 1988; this license is the equivalent of a State stamp. (Virginia did have "bear and deer" hunting stamps this early.) While this Federal duck stamp is not scarce (Scott 2021 $15 for Used), it is quite hard to them on intact licenses in decent quality.

Wooten (2006) VIRGINIA Big Game (Bear and Deer) Hunting Stamp #31 [1953-54 $1 black on blue "Bear and Deer" Resident (pictures deer)] Used VF, with red serial number, on reverse of "VIRGINIA STATE RESIDENT LICENSE TO HUNT ONLY -- $3.50" for 1953-1954. Not being familiar with the Virginia system, I do not know why the license was $3.50 but the stamp only $1.00; I assume both amounts had to be paid. Though the license has the usual "wallet creases", the hunting stamp has only very minor creasing (since unfolded) of the perfs at top and left! The 2006 Wooten catalog prices this stamp Mint at $30 and Used at $12, but makes no effort to price uses on license (though the author notes in the 2006 introduction that collecting on license has "grown in popularity"). A very attractive, pictorial stamp design which greatly helps the marketability, thus the value. A very nice and very scarce-on-license item from the era well before the "philatelicization" of hunting stamps.

Ephemera / Cartoon Art: May 12, 1940 amateur hand-drawn cartoon strip "The Fumps" by "Benny". Found in a stamp collection -- it is too precious to ignore. This just demonstrates that very little is new in politics, conspiracy theories, or fools. The story: Person answers door and welcomes in guests. The conversation proceeds: "How dja [sic] like Roosevelt? ... Speaking of Roosevelt, too bad McKinley was taken sick and died. ... He was shot... No! ... Listen here, you dummox, McKinley was a victim of cancer... Big bum, you, McKinley is still alive. He was impeached... No!... No!... [fight ensues] ... Resident sits in wrecked living room. (Seems much like 2016-2021!) I am not sure why in 1940 they were arguing about the 1901 assassination of McKinley by a gunman. However, it just shows that nothing is really new and perhaps that we have another 40 years ahead of us arguing about recent events. Overall size 11 x 8.25 inches.

Ephemera / Art: ca. 1940 amateur hand-drawn, colored automobile illustrations. Found in a stamp collection and too fun to ignore. Probably by "Benny" the creator of a 1940 cartoon strip "The Fumps" found in the same stamp collection. Each is on thin, tracing paper (or clothes pattern making paper). Pen outline, colored in. Similar, but different car designs. Interestingly the creator paid attention to developing surrounding scenery: desert, rural, city. Lots of fun. Especially for a car lover who has one or more ca.1940 cars like these. Some insignificant edge wear. Each overall size 11 x 8.5 inches.

Label: "ROANOKE, VA. / AN ALL-AMERICA CITY / THE STAR CITY OF THE SOUTH". Lithographed, rouletted label design (view of the city with mountains in the distance) with printer inscription "AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY, LITHO." Very attractive. The city was first named an All-America City in 1952 and six times subsequently. The huge star on a nearby mount was built in 1949 (it has an interesting history, see Wikipedia). This has the appearance of having been issued in the 1952-1965 time period. NH F-VF.

Scott #11/12 facsimile "mint". Sometimes described as reprints, these are facsimiles made for collectors (I believe that these date from the 1950s), but they are still quite collectible. Back printing "Facsimile / No. xxx" with 211 in blue gray. On coarse yellowish paper. I do not know for sure, but I suspect that the various backprinting versions of these exist; compare to what you have.
