'United States International Registration Labels'
by Al Kugel.
This exhibit shows examples of the special exchange labels used by the U.S. Post Office Department on outgoing international registered mail (except for Canada) between 1883 and 1911. The idea was adopted by the U.P.U. at its 1882 convention in Paris, with a regulation stating that for international mail 'Registered articles must bear a label or impression of a stamp, showing...the capital letter R in Roman text.' Based on this, the Post Office Dept. ordered the printing of the special labels for designated offices authorized to exchange mail with foreign countries.
This exhibit was created by, and is the property of the late Al Kugel, and is being supplied by his heirs as a courtesy to the Military Postal History Society. (See the MPHS webpage) The Military Postal History Society (MPHS) is a non-profit organization for philatelists and stamp collectors interested in the collecting and studying of the postal aspects of all wars and military actions of all countries, including soldiers' campaign covers, naval mail, occupation and internment covers, patriotics, propaganda, V-mail, censorship and similar related material.
This exhibit, created by the late Al Kugel, is made up of a single frame containing 16 pages. (See the PDF information page for additional help with this file format.)
