The designs used the same portrait as the Wildings and then later changed to the Machins, but were modified to incorporate the symbols of each of the home nations. While generally sold at post offices in their respective areas, all were valid throughout the UK and the Crown Dependencies. .."

United Nations (UN)

1. Steve Schwartz's Collector Magic, Inc.

   About Steve Schwartz:

   

   My father visited the United Nations building in New York in 1964 when I was 11 years old. While there, he purchased a few United Nations stamps for me. When he returned, I started collecting these stamps and he would teach me the stories behind each one. A few nights per week we would "play stamps" for about 30 minutes. When I wanted to buy more stamps for my collection, Dad would match the amount of money I was willing to spend from my allowance.

   The stamp making the biggest impression on me was the first 50 cent definitive issue. It had a picture of the UN building with the UN logo in the background. This began my education about the United Nations and what it stood for. Dad and I read the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and also learned about the many UN affiliated organizations. I've placed links to these documents and organizations on the lower-left side of these pages.

   I understood that the United Nations stamps told the stories about how the UN works to bring about better lives, larger freedoms and greater happiness for people everywhere.

   I understood that the United Nations was intended as a forum to bring nations together to work out their common problems in a peaceful way and save future generations from the sorrows of war.

2. THE POSTAL HISTORY OF ICAO - ICAO and the United Nations

   Mali – 10 November 1975 30th Anniversary of UN Charter UN emblem and names of the Specialized Agencies (including OACI, Organisation de l’aviation civile internationale, in the right branch of the letter N) forming the acronym ONU (Organisation des Nations Unies)

   At the Chicago Conference, the drafters of the Convention on International Civil Aviation had anticipated the emergence of a United Nations type of post-war organization and had written into the Convention a provision covering the possibility of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) becoming a constituent of such organization. Article 64 of the Chicago Convention signed on 7 December 1944 reads as follows: “The Organization may, with respect to air matters within its competence directly affecting world security, by vote of the Assembly, enter into appropriate arrangements with any general organization set up by the nations of the world to preserve peace.”

   At the first ICAO Assembly held in May 1947, a resolution was adopted that enabled the President of the Council to sign a protocol for the bringing into force of an agreement concerning such a relationship between the United Nations (UN) and ICAO. President Warner signed the protocol on 3 October 1947. ICAO became a Specialized Agency in relationship with the UN, and thereby joined the UN family. By this agreement, each organization undertakes to fulfil certain requirements whereby the other may participate in its work in the measure required for fulfilment of certain articles of the Chicago Convention and the Charter of the UN.

   While ICAO remained an independent and autonomous agency, its acquisition of constituency status in the United Nations Organization was a major step, which greatly benefited many of its Contracting States in the years that followed, mainly through the United Nations Programme of Technical Assistance.

   The UN family of organizations, i.e. the United Nations system, is made up of the UN Secretariat, the UN Programmes and Funds (such as UNICEF, UNHCR, WFP, or UNDP) and the Specialized Agencies (such as ILO, UNESCO, WHO, WMO, FAO, IMO, ITU, UPU or ICAO).

Paper Chase - The Amentities of Stamp Collecting Alvin F. Harlow, 1940 "Hemingway, the paper man, was not a philatelist, and might have missed finding the stamps had he not noticed, as the paper was dumped out, some eighteenth-century letters which excited his curiosity. He began looking further, and found autograph letters of Robert Morris, Anthony Wayne, Benedict Arnold and other notables, account books of Chaloner and White, who were provisioners to the Continental Army, and he also found stamps such as he had never seen or heard of before. To shorten the story, there were not only many stampless covers and early United States stamps, but there were twenty of the twenty-cent St. Louis, seventy-nine of the ten-cent and six of the fivecent; there were a ten and a twenty together on one cover; a pair of the twenty, seven pairs of the ten, and three strips of three of the ten.

6. The 1¢ Franklin Plating Archive (1851-1857), Richard Doporto, Sonic Imagery Labs (cf.)

   "Be forewarned my casual web surfing philatelist. The 1¢ Franklin is a physically small stamp. The design measuring 1.00 inches (25.4 mm) tall by 0.72 inches (18.5 mm) wide. The images on this website are, in contrast to the real size, quite massively large. The details that need to be seen to correctly plate a 1¢ Franklin are incredibly small and many times very faint. So to enable to reader to actually see the plating mark, the image of the stamp has to be enlarged to a monstrous scale."

   

   Richard notes:

   Can't Do It Alone

   "I am hoping that others will contribute, loan their collections for photographing and join the quest to archive the 2400 other positions that are currently not in the archive yet. It took Ashbrook and Neinken 40 years to do what they did. But that is because they didn't have the internet and had no reference to start with. We live in a global community now connected instantly by a click of a button. Be sure to read about the people who have contributed so far to the archive on the "Acknowledgments and Contributors" page."

7. Stamps With Hidden Images - Information on US stamps that have scramble indicia.

   

   At the link it notes, "During the years 1997 to 2004 the United States Post Office produced nearly 1.75 billion postage stamps that contain a "hidden image". These covert designs are only visible when viewed through a special device called the "Stamp Decoder."

   "The Postal Service's STAMP DECODER is a decoder lens manufactured especially for reading hidden images and symbols on selected stamp issues. The decoder lens is a precision optical device manufactured with the same acrylics used for prescription eyeglass lenses. Each decoder is comprised of nearly a thousand tiny elongated lenses called lenticules."

   "Scrambled Indicia® is Graphic Security Systems Corporation's patented pre-press process that scrambles, distorts, intertwines, overlaps or otherwise manipulates images making encoded information on them unreadable by the naked eye, and non-copyable by current color copiers and digital scanners. When printed, the images are decoded through a simple decoder lens allowing the viewer to see the encoded images."

9. Plating 3˘ 1851-57 Stamps, by Dr. Charles J. Di Como (who also notes: "The pioneering work of Dr. Carroll Chase has probably made the 3˘ 1851 stamp the most studied stamp of all time. The specialization of 'plating' originated with this stamp.")
   See also: Identifying the 3˘ Issue & more, by Caj Brejtfus

   Richard Doporto (above) provides:

   "The following message is an excerpt from Dr. Carroll Chase' book, THE 3˘ STAMP OF THE UNITED STATES 1851-1857 ISSUE. Though he primarily studied the 3˘ issue, his message applies to all students who plate the early classics. Dr. Chase, whom is considered the originator of the art and science of plating says:

   “One of the principal reasons for writing this book is to put down such knowledge as I have in black and white. After I die, some one or perhaps more than one is going to continue this work. It would be a shame for the long hours I have put into this study to go to waste. The next man should not start from scratch. The person who takes over should have several qualifications: good eyesight, patience to burn, the love of the stamp and plating ability which may have to be slowly acquired. He must not be a person who jumps to conclusions. Besides it would be preferable that he be young enough so that he can look forward to years of work on the subject. There is no reason why several should not work on the subject at the same time. This is the reason why I have tried to make available what I have done. So here is wishing my successor(s) lots of luck and lots of pleasure”

    ANFC: 'Association des Numismates Francophones du Canada'

    "Montreal exchange brokers of the day included a firm known as Weir & Larminie. Now Larminie happened to be in New York City at the time encased postage stamps first made their brief appearance as wartime exchange media. On an impulse, he ordered some bearing his concern's name on the back; upon arrival at their business destination in Canada, these promptly entered a display window, there to accompany sample greenbacks and other miscellanea.

    "I well remember the day of their advent in that place, and immediately purchasing one as a curiosity. Throwing the acquisition into a box, I completely forgot about its existence and certainly never considered Weir & Larminie's encased U.S. stamp to be a coin. When it later commenced selling at prices above two dollars, however, this jogged my memory and out the specimen came from its previous, less dignified hiding-place to repose among rarities.
