The Chelmsford Stamp Club

Monday October 6th, 2008

7:00 p.m. at the Chelmsford Public Library

Join us for a slide show from the American Philatelic Society titled "Fancy U.S. Cancellations." When U.S. Postage stamps first appeared in 1847, the government allowed postmasters to devise cancellers for their particular offices, resulting in a wide variety of fancy cancellations. The examples depicted in this show include a host of geometric shapes, unusual designs, patriotic images, numeral and letter combinations, message markings, such a "Paid" and "Packet boat" and more.
Free and open to the public!
