    Stamps

    I'm working on some stamp projects...and as such am interested in dating various stamps (US & CS). Is anyone aware of books, or other sources which date the manufacture and issuance of the various stamps (Postage, Revenue, etc...), or scales of postage, or taxation?

    Thanks,

    Paul B.

      The Smithsonian National Postal Museum has some good information and resources online at http://www.arago.si.edu/index.asp?co...=2&tid=2027499. The Wikipedia philately page also has some good info if you haven't looked at it yet.

      Alos check out http://www.stamps.org/ and http://www.1847usa.com/identify/19th/1861.htm for additional resources.

      So, you think that scrap in the East is rough, do you?
      Ever consider what it means to be captured by Apaches?

          It's fascinating that several of the articles of currency in Paul Calloway's album are called "postage currency." They appear to use the same engravings as the stamps, and some of them use the stamp images multiple times on the same bill. http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/...hp?albumid=216
