Thank you for sharing this information! I only recently found out about cancels, new collector here, so I appreciate any information that is passed along.

 

Wow that's awesome! I didn't know about them. I also just recently found out that there will never be any stamps with the 9-11 tragedy on them. The USPS does not commemorate American or W.W. tragedies. A quote from one of my friends

Here is more info on the subject for you-

Here is the reference material the above information was taken-
U.S.P.S. Advisory Committee

 

They did issue the semi postal issue of 2002 which showed ' ground zero' and the 3 fire fighters though....

 

Yes but it made no mention of the tragedy only honored the fallen Fire Fighters correct?

 

The stamp honored the heroes of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

 

I think they should have put a cop in with the stamp design too... but I would... ha ha ha

 

I just looked it up and that's right. It said HEROS right on it!

 

A police stamp...wasn't there a US stamp in the 50's that's beautifully engraved that honors police officers?

The Fuzz... I have a very old Constable's badge from Jersey Shore PA. that belonged to my Great Great Grand Father. I'm going to have it framed. I'll post a pic in a moment.

 

OK here is some neat stuff for ya!

"Gonzo's Press Pass"


Badge

 

Nice pics, and some cheap ties...lol

 

On the post card (with the ties) is that a stamped stamp? That alone seems sort of unique (to me at least, not sure if it's common.)

I love items with prices still listed on them, it really shows how the economy has changed and makes for good conversation pieces. Cool stuff, Jay!

Also: heheh... Jersey Shore...

 

Yes it's called a "franked" postal card. That's where I'm from originally. Jersey Shore Pennsylvania NOT New Jersey.
Have you ever seen Fear & loathing in Las Vegas? Well Hunter Thompson was "Gonzo". He used to work in J.S. PA. as a sports journalist.
