In this double bill presentation by the North Toronto Stamp Club, restorer Jasmine Smith discusses repair and improvement of postal covers and touches on best practices for caring for your collection at home.
Bill Schultz, a philatelic exhibit advisor and retired APS Chief Judge, discusses the ongoing scarce US 6¼¢ postage rate census and presents images of covers and the related banknotes pertinent to the 1821-1845 era. The rate is disproportionately found in the northern States, a trend likely tied to the use of British currency by their Canadian neighbours.
