POSTAL STATIONERY

Throughout the 20th Century, American postal stationery items (both envelopes and cards) have been subjected to a number of surcharges. While the extenuating circumstances behind these surcharges have been varied, they all share a common frugality—when the Post Office Department produced millions of items paying a newly-defunct rate, it made more sense from an economic point of view to revalue the items rather than scrap them and start anew. The Joe Pryluck Collection provides us with perhaps the best opportunity ever to study the history of American postal stationery through its surcharges. In discussing the 1920 and 1925 surcharged postal stationery envelopes, it is perhaps best to begin by looking at how the surcharged envelopes were explained in the popular press of the time: Surcharging 3-Cent Stamped Envelopes June 10, 1920 “Nearly six months after the Post Office Department at Washington announced that the surplus 3-cent stamped envelopes were to be surcharged for use as 2-cent ones, these overprints are now appearing,” says Kent B. Stiles, in his department, “Stamps” in the Boy Scout Magazine, Boys’ Life. “When Uncle Sam reduced his ordinary letter postage rate from three cents, which prevailed during the war so that the Government could have more revenue, to two cents, which was the normal charge in the days prior to the war—when Uncle Sam made this reduction last July, there were in post offices throughout the country millions of 3-cent stamped envelopes and it was recognized that it would be many years before this great supply would become exhausted. And so, regarding the Post Office Department’s decision to convert these envelopes into ones of the smaller denomination, we read in an official circular from Washington: “The principal purposes are, first, to conserve, during the prevailing condition of short paper production throughout the country, large quantities of paper which would ordinarily have been wasted; secondly, to save to the government the cost of manufacture of the many millions of outstanding 3-cent envelopes, which must otherwise be destroyed and become a total loss, and thirdly, to provide the public with stamped envelopes during the existing shortage, which is due to the unprecedented sale that has followed the restoration of the 2-cent rate of postage. “How is this overprinting being done? A report circulated last October was that the postmasters who possessed the surplus stocks of 3-cent envelopes would be allowed to place surcharges individually—a practice which would have produced probably thousands of varieties for collectors. It is learned now, however, that standard cancelling machines are being distributed by the Postmaster General among the post offices in the cities where these stocks exist. Washington, St. Louis, Cleveland, Boston and Providence were understood to be the first offices to receive these machines. What the surcharges look like may best be understood from reading the official circular which gives the following description: “The dies which are being provided to print upon the 3-cent stamp envelopes a large double-line numerical 2, with either horizontal or vertical lines beneath it to cancel the two original numerals 3. Some of the 3-cent envelopes, however, are overprinted '2 cents,’ the large figure '2’ at the left of the 3-cent mark.”

Old Stamped Envelopes Reused By Government in Economy Plan To Meet Cent and Half Demand May 28, 1925 The government economy has produced a new variety of postage stamp which will be sought by collector who have been busy rounding up specimens of the Norse-American, Lexington-Concord and Pilgrim commemorative Issues and of those made necessary by the increased postage rates. The new variety is a surcharged 1½ cent stamped envelope large stocks of the one cent stamped envelope rendered useless by the increase of the third class rate to 1½ cents will be surcharged in the center of the stamp imprint with the numerals 1½ and the one cent numerals will be obliterated with four vertical bars. When the first class postage was reduced from three to two cents after the war large supplies of three cent stamped envelopes were surcharged two cent. Some one cent stamped envelopes will be kept by postmasters for enclosing books and catalogues still mailable at the one cent rate for each two ounces. The 2c Surcharged (or “Revalued”) envelopes, produced in 1920 and 1921 in order to meet demand after the restoration of the pre-World War I first class letter rate, comprise Scott numbers U446-480 and UPSS numbers 2737-3077. In total, seven different “types” of surcharge were used. The 1½c Surcharged envelopes, produced in 1925 for a subsequent rate change, comprise Scott numbers U486-521 and UPSS numbers 3078-3252. These exhibit two different “types” of surcharge, as well as several locallyproduced surcharges (all of which are exceedingly scarce). The Joe Pryluck Collection includes spectacular holdings of both the 1920 and 1925 surcharged envelopes, as well as similar surcharges produced in 1920 for postal cards and a slew of later surcharges applied to various pieces of postal stationery. Although I never met Joe Pryluck myself, it has been a pleasure getting to know his wife Carmela over the past several months. I’d also like to acknowledge the many hours of work Bill Bergstrom has put into describing this catalogue—a monumental task for such an intricate and complex field. The 374 lots presented here represent only a fraction of the volume of Joe Pryluck’s collection; the remainder of the material (primarily collection lots and accumulations) will be offered in our February 2021 sale. When I asked Carmela Pryluck if she would like to write an introduction about Joe, she felt that this card expressed their relationship as well as anything she or I could write. So on this note, I’ll leave you to discover one of the most comprehensive collections of United States surcharged envelopes ever assembled. -Charles Epting, St. Joseph, MO, October 2020 9

Terms and conditions BIDDING

TITLE; DEFAULT

Unless announced otherwise by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the printed Catalog. H.R. Harmer, as agent for the consignor or vendor, shall regulate the bidding and shall determine the manner in which the bidding shall be conducted. Harmer reserves the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale (without liability to any potential purchaser or agent), to re-offer any withdrawn lot, to divide a lot or to group two or more lots belonging to the same consignor or vendor, and to refuse any bid believed not made in good faith.

The highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall prevail. Should a dispute arise between bidders (including a dispute between a floor bidder and the auctioneer acting on behalf of a mail bidder, consignor or vendor), the auctioneer alone shall determine who is the successful bidder and whether to reoffer the lot in dispute. Should a dispute arise after the sale, the auctioneer’s sale records shall be conclusive. On all lots sold, a commission of 18% on the hammer price is payable by the buyer.

(a) The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients (and consignors or vendors) but shall not be liable for errors and omissions in executing instructions to bid, however received, and whether such errors or omissions be those of the bidder or agent or those of the auctioneer. (b) All lots are offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the consignor vendor. (c) It may also be assumed that all consignors have been advanced monies against the sale of their stamps and Harmers therefore has a security interest over and above the normal auction commission. (d) Purchases made by a consignor or vendor or his agent on his own lots shall be considered as a sale subject to commissions and sales tax as applicable. (e) Agents are responsible for all purchases made on behalf of their clients, unless other arrangements have been confirmed in writing prior to the auction. (f ) HRHarmer further reserves the right to ban any bidder from participation in its’ sales for any reason deemed appropriate in its’ sole discretion.
