U.S., Multiple Gold Medal Winning Registry Collection, 1842-1929, 8 frames, carefully researched starting with the Fore runners of 1842 to 1855, the Postal Act of March 3, 1855 which made the prepayment of postage on domestic letters compulsory and also established the domestic registry system, which was the first "special service" of the United States, on to 1862 with the introduction of the Return Receipt and the various forms and receipts that needed were used to implement this service. There are various usages including Registered Official Business Mail, Registered Package Envelopes & Tags and various Registration labels. Along the way, there is a fascinating story of the postal system told one piece at a time telling the stories of why problems were developing, what the Post Office did to solve them and the evolution of the postal service as Registered Mail scaled up. The first frame chronicles the use of early fore runner Post Office Department letterhead as the first service that needed to enumerate how many letters were sent for accounting purposes. There is an interesting printed letter to a local post office describing Registry service and there are Money Letters sent prior to Registered Mail by Express companies showing the need for a nationwide money transfer service. In total frame 1 contains 22 covers and 5 letters. The second frame introduced penalty stationary to fulfill the need of post offices to send Return Registered Letter Bill (Form B) and the introduction of Registry Return Receipt post cards to prove the Registered letter was received. There is a fascinating Registered Penalty envelope from the Philippines, a Registry Return Receipt post cards to Puerto Rico and Canal Zone and an early letter regarding legal action in the service of a subpoena. In total frame 2 contains 19 covers, 4 post cards, 2 letters and 4 forms. Frame three focused on Registry Bills and contains 6 covers, 11 Registry Bill post cards and 11 Registry Bill forms. Frame four finished Registry Bills and introduced the Registered Package and contained 5 Registry Bills, 11 Registered Package Envelopes and 6 large green Registry Seal stamps. Frame five contains Registered Package Tags with 15 Registered Package Envelopes, 6 Registered Package Receipts post cards and 6 Registered Package Receipt forms (including a couple early hand written forms). Frame six contains 26 Registry Delivery Notice Receipts and 7 Registry Dispatch Receipt post cards and an interesting 1909 document about a registered letter that could not be delivered. Frame seven contains three usages of Registry stamps on cover and 24 Registry Return Receipts including some difficult usages in the Philippines and a Department of Interior, United States Land Office Penalty Envelope Registered Letter - Returned to Sender. Frame eight contains 9 covers with Registration Labels used on cover including an interesting (Form 1549A) label with post office hand stamp and a few loose Registration labels (off cover) and 13 International Registry Return Receipt forms or post cards. Considering the rarity and age of these items, they are in surprisingly good condition, generally Fine to Very Fine. In all it is not hard to see why this exhibit one multiple Gold Medal awards, with great research and the careful placement and order to tell a story of the development of this service, one could easily write a book on this topic. A wonderful study of the subject, fresh and select, should be seen to be fully appreciated.
