About Stamps By Elza Martin, Well Known Stamp Authority Precancels are postage stamps that have been overprinted with the name of the city in which they are meant to be UBed. Stamps are p re cancelled to save time and labor in the post offices, where large lots of mnll are received from users of the mall, such as mail order and whole sale houses, mall advertisers, etc. It Is necessary to have a permit to use precancellcd stamps and when the mailed matter reaches its des tination, the stamp becomes void for further postal use. There are many different types of overprinting used In precancelllng our postage stamps, type, rubber stamps, electros, and even the mimeograph and mum graph are used to overprint the stamps. These printings are made under the supervision of the local postmasters and are known as City Type precancels. Others are printed in Washington, D. C. by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, these are known as Bureau Prints. The col lecting of precancels la a fascinat ing pastime, which is growing in popularity with U. S. collectors. Pre cancels are rapidly advancing in value, as many of the older types are now fast disappearing from us. The collector who now makes a col lection of precancels is using good Judgment as the present series of stamps will soon be obsolete At the present time most dealers are short on precancels, so great Is the demand for thenv Precancels from the small er towns with a population of 10.000 or less usually have a catalogue value of many times the value, of a stamp of the same denomination, from the larger cities. Some of the early types of precancels are difficult to classify as they are merely precancelled with one or two or three bars across the face of the stamp; others have stars and other designs that are used as precancels. At present apparently it appears that the new collectors are collecting only Type B II and B 13 in the bureau prints, both of these types are the same except Type B II is in two lines, whllo Typo B 13 Is In three lines. On this special type of precancels the Bureau of Engrav ing does not print an order for less than 250,000 stamps. Anyone who is interested in the above branch of collecting will find it more enjoyable if they secure a catalogue listing the above types. The standard catalogue Is the Mite hell -Hoover catalogue. Any one interested In securing catalogues, may see me personally to obtain the address. State surcharged stamps Issue mt 1029.
