Do You Have Any of the Following Patterns in Your Rev-Perf Collection Edited from a note from Art Mongan (LM#3443)

During the preparation of the rev-perf catalog Art Monghan identified 121 patterns listed in the U.S. Catalog as being found in revenue stamps that he could not confirm. In some cases a similar pattern was found – but there is still a large group of US perfin patterns listed as found in revenue stamps for which support is wanting. Following is a listing of these patterns (US Catalog number on the left and

Rev-Perf Catalog number on the right). Please check and report if you have any of the listed types in a revenue stamp and in what type of revenue it occurs to [email protected] or Art Mongan 12432 Pretoria Dr., Silver Spring, MD 20904.

Get Ready for a New World Perfins Census Bob Schwerdt (#505L)

Dear Foreign Perfin Collectors: I believe that the last foreign census was conducted in 1997. Since we have added new members and new perfin types during the last eleven years, perhaps we should consider counting our perfins again? Traditionally, the U.S. population census is held every ten years. Even though a perfin census is a year late, I don't think that we want to break with tradition! Since I have had some experience with censuses, I am willing to start the project and continue it with assistance from member of the Club. Two things to consider when we start are owners’ anonymity and simplified accounting. It might be easier to count just commercial perfin types rather than including

revenues, officials, SPECIMENS, stationery, prepers, personals, exhibitions, cancels, and labels. Your suggestions will be very helpful in deciding the final arrangement. Initial requests could be published serially in the Bulletin organized by Paul Mistretta's alphabetical arrangement of countries (Bulletins: March 2003 through April 2004), or by geographical groups, or by ... ? It certainly would be revealing to discover if a new census report will show more than one perfin type from any of the places in the table below. The Mistretta catalog count of existing types listed each of these places with having only one commercial perfin type. And, a few countries were not on Paul's original list because perfins from those places were discovered after the list had been published.

Allenstein Barbados China - Peo.Rep. Eupen Falkland Is. Faroe Islands French Equ. Afr.

French India Gibraltar Haiti Kelantan Liechtenstein Malmedy Martinique Montenegro

Paraguay Rouad lie Salvador Shanghai Vathy (Greek Is. listed under French Levant)

If you check your collection and find more than one perfin type from any of these 20 listed areas, and then report them to me, You could be starting the new census! For suggestions and advice, please send snail mail responses to me at 9 Memory Lane, Poughkeepsie, NY 12603. Ed. Notes: Bob first sent this suggestion in March with a request to hold off till after the Convention. In a later note (mid May), he made the suggestion that we go ahead and announce the census – without the actual forms. Since that time a couple of preliminary decisions have been made.

• The census will be organized by 5 continental groups as follows: Africa, the Americas (North and South), Asia, Australia (and British Oceanea), and Europe; publication sequence is as yet to be

determined, but probably at least two installments (Europe//the rest of the world) will be used to avoid overwhelming contributors (and Bob!).

• As suggested in Bob’s letter above, the census will be limited to commercial perfin patterns in postage stamps (more on the definition of ‘commercial patterns’ when the forms are published).

• I expect that the first installment will be published in the September/October Bulletin.

• While Bob and I have a general format worked out, if you have suggestions, they are very welcome as noted at the end of Bob’s letter, above.

Space will be left at the end of each continental list for respondents to add countries or other political or geographic entities not on the list.


Cover IDs Pattern User Larry Cohen (LM#3724)

Sometimes its just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. I attended the APS sponsored show in Boxborough, MA at the beginning of May and, as always, I went from dealer to dealer asking if they had any Black Hardings precancels or perfins on cover. Over the years I have gotten used to “sorry, no”. Finally, I came to one cover dealer who scratched his head and said “I think I have one, but you probably won’t like it, it’s pretty ugly”. I assured him I didn’t care, and he produced a #10 business cover, opened roughly on three sides, with a vertical pair of my favorite stamp, machine cancelled and perfinned.

I asked how much, trying to not to seem too eager, and when he hesitantly asked for $3.00 I paid him as fast as I could and was on my way. What I had was an engraved business envelope with franked with Hardings perfinned pattern F-174 which up until that moment was only identified as being from “Cudahy, WI” in the US Perfins catalog. Now, from this cover we know that the pattern belonged to The Fisk Rubber Company, Federal Division, Cudahy, Wisconsin. And, to add a little frosting to the cake, it’s a leap day cover – cancelled on ‘FEB 29 1924’.

Discoveries are being made every day, and sometimes when you least expect it,

and for almost nothing. So keep looking, you never know what might turn up!

An Opportunity for an Unusual Trade I received an e-mail from Jesus (?Devalle) in Cuba suggesting that he would like to trade Cuban stamps (apparently Cuban currency is still embargoed) for a US Perfins catalog. I have no further details about the proposal. E-mail to and from Dave Lightle (our Catalog Sales Chairman) resulted in an

estimated total cost (catalog, postage and various duty charges) of “...close to $100...” Anyone wishing to pursue this, e-mail Jesus at [email protected] and work out the trade details.

Checklists for Rev-Perf Catalog Vol. 1 Completed (Almost) Paul A. Mistretta (LM#111)

With the publication (below) of the checklists for sections C, D, J, M and the tables at the end of the volume, I have completed presenting checklists for all of Volume 1 of the Rev-Perf catalog. (This “completion” excludes some of the patterns presented in Section D [La. Law tax stamps], some in Section M, all in Section N, and the patterns presented in Section O – all of which are not yet amenable to useful checklist preparation).

Barring a serious groundswell supporting the preparation of further checklists for the 2nd and 3rd volumes (specialized material for [essentially considered esoterica by] most current perfin collectors) this will be the last set of checklists prepared by me for publication in the Bulletin. (I would consider creating the remaining checklists at some time after being relieved of the Bulletin editorship – or would be glad to work with some other member of the Club willing to prepare the remaining checklists.)

A Minor Glitch in the Mails Based on a note from Club Secretary Ken Rehfeld

Apologies to those whose June Bulletin was delayed. The wrong post office (in Virginia) had about 50 of our Bulletins for delivery to southern members of the Club; the auto reader (no more hand sorting) picked up the last name, address and zip on the back page rather than the name on the label The formatting of the label is wrong, and the

machine did not read the correct address. Too many spaces from the city to the state in the affected labels caused the autoreader to ignore the label, search, and ultimately find the last readable address on the back page. Technology is good. The Postmistress returned them to Ken and they have been remailed to the affected members.

An Appeal from our Cover Sales Manager Please update the cover want lists you have sent me. I have had a small corruption of my DB.:I know what many members want to see but have

lost many other requests; single stamp or pattern requests are what are most messed up. The address is found on the next page. E-mail is fine.

Congratulations!!

The Revs-Perfins catalog received a Silver at NAPEX.
