Terrific examples everyone! Some pretty cool labels. It's interesting that on your sheet of aircraft, 1775mac, every airship is different. Someone took a lot of care with that one. |

Courtesy of Wiki: Quote:
The Trans-Mississippi was the geographic area west of the Mississippi River during the 19th century, containing the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Texas, and the Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). The term was especially used by the Confederate States of America as the designation for the theater of operations west of the Mississippi. The geographical term is generally used today only in matters relating to the study of the American Civil War.
However, the term Trans-Mississippi was also used at times to refer to any land "across the Mississippi" or the entire western two-thirds of the United States. In 1898, a Trans-Mississippi Exposition was held at Kountze Park in Omaha, Nebraska. The postage stamps of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition Issue are considered some of the most beautiful stamps ever issued by the US, and a complete set of the "Trans-Miss" is highly prized. In 1998, a set of stamps using designs derived from the original issue was issued to commemorate its 100th anniversary. |

Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example.
I collect for enjoyment, not investment.

Women Barred to Stamp Clubs
According to report, we still have a few quaint
and archaic stamp clubs from which women are
barred as members.
This is an odd situation in view of the fact that
the biggest and most successful philatelic organ-
izations and local clubs welcome their membership.
Women are an important element in stamp collecting.
Look around at the stamp exhibitions and note the
high calibre of collections displayed by the ladies.
They're keen students and they've got THE stamps,
and how! Our New York Collectors Club has numerous
women on the roster and the day is not distant when I
am sure we will have a woman on the Board of Governors.
We're certainly glad to have them in New York, and
glad, too, that so many of them collect stamps.
