can you name an approval company not listed below.
I will start out with
(1) Garcelon
I am thinking of collecting printed glassines with their names on.
What do you think.

Phil:
Sorry to interrupt and go off topic... BUT... the cover from St. Louis Stamp Luounge is an interesting piece of American postal history.
The postmark is what is called a "barrel cancel". Typically, they were used on large envelopes and parcels. My guess is that the sender wanted nicely cancelled stamps for his customer, and asked the postal clerk to hand cancel the cover. Lucky for collectors almost fifty years later... a lovely strike (which is tough to get) of an in-period barrel cancel.
Just for the record, barrel cancels are a popular collectable for postmark and postal history enthusiasts.
