INTRODUCTION
In July 1938, the dating order of the
Third Assistant Postmaster General took
effect, requiring all precanceled stamps
on packages with more than 6c postage
to include the initials of the user and the
month and year of use. Since then, dated
precancels have been a popular specialty
for precancel collectors. There have
been checklists, journal articles, study
groups, catalogs, and databases that
picture more than 10,000 controls.
The controls were applied in three ways.
Precancels with the city and state already
on the stamp would have the control
added by some type of printing process
(printed dated) or by a handstamp device
(handstamp dateds). In some cases, the
city, state, user, and date were all applied
in the same printing operation (these are
called integral precancels). Some of the
early users did not have any kind of
printing device, so they just used a pen
to write the initials and the date. These
are referred to as manuscript controls,
and are noted in the list by (mms).
This is the third printing to show all
known control initials that were used in
that first month, by any means. By far,
most of the controls were applied by
handstamps. Any printed dated controls
are noted in the list by (PD). Integral
precancels are noted by (int). In a few
cases, the same initials appear on more
than one device in the same month.
There are brief descriptive notes that
distinguish these devices. The note
‘SNIF’ means ‘state name in full’ – it
compares that device with one where the
state name is abbreviated. Some devices
are clearly July ’38 but the user is hard
to read, so a (?) indicates that this is my
best guess at the users initials.
This list has over 1200 entries, but I expect
there are more. Some have probably been
missed, and some have not been found yet.
Some of these are very common and others
are known on only one copy. I continue to
look for July ‘38 and will add to the list
whenever I can, but this is now a pretty good
start.
As always, thanks go to the early collectors,
checklist compilers, and catalog writers who
saved and documented so much of the
valuable information that we can draw upon
today. Many of these collectors are
unknown to me, but their efforts have
contributed to this hobby, and I express my
heartfelt appreciation to all of them.
I will mention a few names from the long
line of contributors to the dated cause. The
original was certainly Rolston Lyon, who
compiled the first checklist of all dateds in
1940. His list was updated by Dr. Jon
Wilson in the 1980s, and extended by my
good friend Earl Ratzer. The study and
information I gained from these pioneers is
priceless. I learned much of what I know
about printed dateds and integrals from Dale
Besom, catalog editor when I found dateds
in the 1980s. The extension of the PSS PD
catalog and the Handstamp Dated Database,
both by Gene Byers, have been most
helpful. Integrals are illustrated in the PSS
Town and Type Catalog, now in its eighth
edition. Manley Behrens and Bob Bartlow
started me down the path of dateds around
1980, and it has led to an exciting and
challenging journey. I hope this checklist
will inspire future collectors to keep looking
for the new frontiers that are still there to be
found in dated precancels.
