U.S. Postage Stamps--First 100 Years

“Stamps – Volume 1” is a database management program for collectors that contains images, pricing and descriptions for all United States postage stamps covering the years 1847 to 1947. This era is generally defined as the “classic period” of American issues.
It was created for the use of collectors of all ages and backgrounds. Hobbyists as well as investors, dealers, and estate managers will find it to be a valuable tool in maintaining accurate information about a collection. Stamp prices have been compiled from a number of reliable sources, including price guides, dealer lists, and auction prices.
There are various means for choosing a stamp so that it may be added to your collection or placed on a Want List. Selecting the proper stamp condition will yield the suggested current market value of that item.
Multiple methods for selecting a stamp are available including the unique “Guided Search” function as well as a special category for Commemorative stamp sets dating from 1893 to 1945.
