Hello everyone,

I have a question about gathering information for designing a custom stamp album.

In short, I'm working on creating a personalized album with each stamp's details, such as number, name, denomination, perforation, print type, issue date, and city. I record these details on A6 cards, laminate them, and add them to the album.

Example:

I gather information from offline catalogs (SCOTT, US/BNA) and online resources (Mystic Stamp, Stamp Smarter, The Swedish Tiger, Kenmore Stamp, Postal Museum). I cross-check this information across multiple sources.

But is there a catalog (other than Mystic Stamp) that includes the Issue City/State?

Thanks in advance!

For some stamps like the coil and sheet waste stamps, the issue date and place might not be known.
For most others, the info is in the Scott US specialized. If not in the listing, then in the first day cover listings.

Scott's U.S. Specialized catalog has a section on FDCs listing the cities.
Designated cities did not really come into play until the mid-1920s.
