<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonSellos, post: 1650909, member: 1797&quot;]A couple more recently acquired stamp dealers&#039; covers here.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first I collected for what seemed to me a novel business name, i.e. Mr. Postage Stamp.&nbsp; The addressee of this cover, J. L. Keffer, has an entry in the 1938 <i>Blue Book of Philately, </i>that identifies him as, then, a teacher at the Kentucky University Training School, the Vice President of the Henry Clay Philatelic Society, and a collector of U.S., precancels, British colonials, Mexico, and Chile.&nbsp; This cover came with a bonus insert, unmentioned by the seller, advertising the Stamp Collectors Jamboree held at the Hotel McAlpin in NYC.&nbsp; The dealers at the bourse included many well-known names of the 1940s, including &quot;Mr Postage Stamp.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]14046[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]14047[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The second cover, the Stamps of the Month Club, was a company that most likely emulated the successful Book of the Month Club.&nbsp; If it did, whoever began it probably offered a few stamp sets each month, U.S. &amp; worldwide, from which a member could choose one or all. I would also guess that stamps from previous months still in stock might also be purchased. I would truly like to find some information about this company to see what it offered and how successful it was. My best bet for information might be the periodical philatelic literature of the time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]14048[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Don Sellos[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
