When: Wed., May. 13, 2020 at 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
The Collectors Club of New York invites you to join us for a live virtual program on Wednesday, May 13th at 5:30pm EDT.
In 1845, the New York Postmaster Provisional stamp was introduced prior to the first federal US stamp issues of 1847. This presentation will cover the full spectrum of this issue, ie, from pre-production to production of stamp well as the control initials and cancellations seen. We will also show examples sent to nearly all the states and most foreign countries.
