The Port Of New York City Authority

Hello members,

I found this envelope need to know the date of the stamp. In the envelope there is a 1936-1937 hockey program and a small book of the a trio of warning I can not find any information on each items. Please advice. Thank you. Mara

Hi Marapaul. That is not a stamp, but metered postage and hard to tell the exact date, but I suspect it is around 1935-6.
You might try and Google this, or search this forum?

As already said, it's not a stamp. But your "need" (the importance or urgency) is intriguing.

It would have been mailed during the spring-summer of 1936 to reach fans in time for the upcoming season. Nice item, although more for the hockey aspect then the philatelic one..

Hi thank you so much I Google for the hockey item and for the metered postage and nothing. Please advice. Mara

Here's the hockey team: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Americans Beyond that, what exactly are you looking for? You know that it's metered mail, so there's obviously no dated cancelation. The enclosed material puts it at no earlier than September 1935. The '36-'37 NHL season started November 5, 1936 but there's no evidence this was actually sent before the start of the season, but assuming it was, we've narrowed down the mailing to ~14 month window. I'll ask again, What more are you looking for?

Here are some of the metering indicia. The one you show is Pitney Bowes (P.B. Meter)
