ISSUE 180 - December 5, 2025 - Stamp News Online Magazine
The Best of Stamp News Publishing (SNP)
Greetings!
As we enter the closing stretch for 2025, I hope your year has been a great one, and that your holiday will be joyful. With that in mind, we start this month with a couple of holiday greetings from the past, then turn to a new series on the U.S. Postage Stamp, 1870-1900. We’re just finishing it in U.S. Stamp News, a publication that most of the subscribers to our other publications do not receive.
Back from our wide-ranging past, we bring you studies of Japan, the Mulready Envelope and U.S. Carrier covers–the latter a very informative study by Stanley Ashbrook, one of the leading experts of any era.
Enjoy!
