Classic Books – Little Women

Inside #2788: stamps on envelope

Lou wrote: There are members of our Club who drool over stamp blobs on envelopes, so here is one not on the sites that I found by accident last night. The U.S, stamp, Sc # 2788 honors Louisa May Alcott's famous book, Little Women. The artwork shows the March family reading a letter from the father away in the army during the Civil War; on the mother's lap is an envelope with two red blobs for postage stamps. The artist may have been using his imagination there, as a single page letter should not have required additional postage. The postal rate during the War was first two and then later, three cents. There were no red stamps. The artist, Jim Lamb, used his own family to model as the Marches.

Hunt's Remedy stamp - 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act

This commemorative stamp honoring the 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act was issued in 1998. The stamp was part of the U.S. Postal Service's "Celebrate the Century" program honoring the most memorable and significant people, places, events and trends of the 20th century. The image is from a proprietary tax stamp for a turn-of-the-century nostrum, Hunt's Remedy. The stamp purports to show the product's effectiveness through the allegorical vision of Death being slain by a bottle of Hunt's. Tax stamps were placed on the bottle by its manufacturer to show that a tax had been paid, and were often used as miniature advertisements. Hunt's Remedy was one of thousands of such products flooding the U.S. market at the time the 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act was passed.

Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner

The fourth stamp in the Looney Tunes series will feature Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. The Bugs Bunny stamp began the series in 1997, followed by the Sylvester and Tweety stamp in 1998 and the Daffy Duck stamp in 1999. Bugs continues to serve as the Ambassador for the STAMPERS youth collecting club, while subsequent Looney Tunes stamps bring additional attention to the hobby of stamp collecting. Wile E. Coyote has appeared in more than 40 cartoons with Road Runner, the speedy object of his appetite. Wile E. Coyote is a lovable antihero. His confidence and ambition never cease in his pursuit of the elusive Road Runner who, relying on an instinctive gift for survival, effortlessly thwarts all his schemes.

The Pan-American Inverts

The Pan-American Exposition was held in Buffalo, N.Y., from May 1 through Nov. 2, 1901. On opening day, the U.S. Post Office Department issued a set of six bicolored stamps commemorating the exposition. A limited number of stamp sheets were accidentally printed with inverted centers: the one-cent "City of Alpena" steamship, the two-cent "Empire State Express" train and the four-cent automobile stamp. In 2001 the Postal Service will reproduce the rare inverts in their original colors. The souvenir sheet also includes four reproductions of a Cinderella -an item that resembles but is not an official government-issued postage stamp-that originally commemorated the exposition. The addition of an international rate makes each of the four Cinderella reproductions official postage stamps. The 2001 souvenir sheet also includes artwork from the cover of a 1901 souvenir guide.

MISSIONARY STAMPS: http://www.hawaiianstamps.com/missionary.html

Hawaii's first stamps are known as the Missionary Issue. Four stamps of three values - 2¢, 5¢ and 13¢ - comprise the issue, all printed locally by letterpress at the Government Printing Office. Missionaries are assigned Hawaii Nos. 1-4 by Scott Catalogue. The first three stamps in the issue were announced for sale on October 1, 1851, at the Honolulu and Lahaina post offices. By early April 1852, the fourth stamp was printed to correct confusion and state clearly the 13¢ value was to pay both Hawaiian and United States postage through to any East Coast United States destination.

Missionaries were issued and used while stamp collecting was a "school-boy" hobby in England and Europe. Few examples of these stamps were retained. When adult collectors and stamp periodicals began to pay attention, Missionaries were immediately recognized as among the rarest of all postage stamps and high prices reflected the intense interest in them. Forgers quickly made imitations for sale, some marketed as space fillers and some as attempts at fraud. Around 1919, a group of forgeries known as the Grinnell Missionaries came to light. In a celebrated lawsuit in Los Angeles, California, the Grinnells were declared fakes in 1922, but the fight to have them found genuine has been pursued into the 21st Century. Recently, after an intense two year examination using modern high technology the Grinnells once more were found to be fakes by the Expert Committee of the Royal Philatelic Society London.

Interest in Missionaries was stimulated by the November, 1995, auction of the vast Advertiser Collection. Missionaries locked in collections for decades, some for more than one hundred years, came to market and more collectors are now able to count them in their collections. http://www.hawaiianstamps.com/missionary.html

Inverted Jenny

Inverted Jenny

The Inverted Jenny (or Jenny Invert) is a United States postage stamp first issued on May 10 1918 in which the image of the Curtiss JN-4 airplane in the center of the design was accidentally printed upside-down; it is probably the most famous error in American philately. Only one pane of 100 of the invert stamps was ever found, making this error one of the most prized in all philately; an inverted Jenny was sold at a Robert A. Siegel auction in November 2007 for US $977,500. In December 2007 a mint, never hinged example (one not previously affixed to a stamp album), was sold for $825,000. The broker of the sale said the buyer was a Wall Street executive who lost the auction the previous month. A block of four inverted Jennys was sold at a Robert A. Siegel auction in October 2005 for US$2.7 million.

Statue of Freedom

Inside #5295-7: U.S. #573O (B)

Lou wrote: These three stamps have been sitting in "limbo" in my "SoS ?"  file, as I can't decide if they are such.

The USPS new issue blurb, articles and catalogs list the design as a detail of  "Freedom", the statue atop the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., but the designer obviously used the vignette of the 1922 U. S. stamp # 573 as his source.  It is not an exact copy, but certainly close enough.  When I saw these illustrated in 2017, I immediately thought of # 573, and so considered them as qualifying as SoS design component (or Type B) issues. Perhaps, because of their high face value, and the cost of a matching # 573, I have been hesitant in adding them, and so decided to get your opinions.  SoS or not?

My response: I understand your hesitation. On the one hand it is a statue, so it will always look the same in every painting. But on the other hand the painting angle is very very close to the angle of #573.  I think there is no choice.  You have a new stamp for the collection….
