U.N. PHILATELY
By Jeff Stage
Don’t be fooled. The United
Nations may not have issued
its first stamps until 111
years after the Penny Black,
but there is still a world of
philately to collect. An expert
offers some background
about U.N. collecting in an-
ticipation of the UNEXPO17,
a special World Series of Phi-
lately show, in October at the
American Philatelic Center.

UNUSUAL NAZI
REGISTERED COVER
By Vincent Centonze
Why would someone send a
postal card — easily viewed
by anyone — as a registered
item? Perhaps it was just as
some assurance of delivery
… or was there a blatant
message the sender hoped
to broadcast through the
mailstream?

FAMILY STORY TOLD
THROUGH COVERS
AND LETTERS
By Robert L. McCaughey
A collection of nearly 200
covers and letters from the
1800s help tell the story of
two prominent New England
families — the Metcalfs and
Hunts — and their home-
town of Providence, Rhode
Island.

COLLECTING
COAST TO COAST
By Wayne Youngblood
Salesmen’s will-call cards
provide an interesting
collectible area that of-
fers interesting messages,
postmarks and other postal
cancellations, stamp usage,
and advertising, from some
of the U.S. postal system’s
glory years.

BRITISH EMPIRE
By Noel Davenhill
We travel to the Turks and
Caicos Islands, likely discov-
ered by Columbus, wound up
as a dependency of Jamaica,
and finally as a British Over-
seas Territory. First, just the
Turks Islands were occupied,
but the salt industry, followed
by tourism prompted growth,
and philately, on the Caicos
Islands as well.

GUINEA-BISSAU
By Bob Lamb
First colonized by Portu-
gal, this small locale on
Africa’s west coast first used
overprinted stamps from
Cape Verde. Stamps after
World War II were inscribed
“Guiné” and a whole new
look was created after inde-
pendence in the mid-1970s.
