US Revenue Perfins
Hi
The (US) Perfins Club has a long going project to develope a catalog of all ( cancellations or security or identification ) perforated or cut outs ( initials, numbers, designs ) that are found on US ( Federal, State, Local) revenues, revenue stamped paper, or fiscal documents that might have revenues attached. Over the years it has expanded from just security perforated initials to the broad scope indicated above. It has also had two editors die in harness over the last twelve years or longer. Are there any readers of this newsgroup who might be interested in this project? Are there any readers with collections / accumulations of US or state revenues who would be willing to check their holding for possible additions to the catalog and the number and types (documentary, stock transfer, beer, etc) of the patterns listed in the draft catalog pages? Any help or comments would be appreciated. Art |

This sounds like a painful project! [ But, I digress here. ] This is a HUGE undertaking and bless the heart of anyone doing it - they'd have my respect!

Any help or comments would be appreciated. Art Can't help out, but best of luck and fortune on the project. It will help fill in many holes in this area and some people's thinking as well. People may think that perfins are trash, but having seen a few 1000 stamps looked over (these were WW) and then passed on to a perfin collector or 2, this is definitely not an easy task to amass their numbers nor decipher their origins. Keep the faith, Art - someone will appear, ready to help out. ======================= Tracy Barber ----------------------- adirondack-pc ----------------------- "Freebie Stamp Project" ======================= |
