<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonSellos, post: 1255250, member: 1797&quot;]Rummaging the shoe box again and turned up this Nassau Street cover from SSS, which I&#039;m sure stands for Subway Stamp Shop.&nbsp; SSS may have been the last stamp dealer on Nassau Street.&nbsp; Unfortunately, The roller cancel did not produce a legible date, but based on the use of the Jupiter stamp, posting would have been no earlier than February 28, 1975, its first-day of issue per Scott.</p><p><br /></p><p>Subway is still selling, but it looks like only supplies and accessories now.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a brief history taken from Subway&#039;s home page:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Simon E Goldberg was a lifelong stamp collector. In the evenings he made stamp packets from duplicates and lots, and sold them from displays he placed in luncheonettes, cigar and candy stores. In the late 1940&#039;s Simon, using his own collection, opened a stamp collecting department in the corner of a cousin&#039;s camera shop in Brooklyn (NY). The business quickly grew and in 1952 Simon made the move to world famous &quot;Nassau Street&quot; (New York City) when he purchased Subway Stamp Shop (est. 1931). The store was located in the subway arcade at 87 Nassau Street (hence the name Subway) until Subway relocated to larger quarters on the 2nd floor at 111 Nassau Street.&nbsp; ... .&nbsp; Subway moved to Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1994.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Don</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]13421[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
