Stamp Collecting & Postal History

Jonathan Topper, of Topper Stamps and Postal History, gave a very informative presentation not only on stamp collecting but about the history of the postal service. He covered the period of time from the early 1800’s to the present. He addressed the evolution of this important service in terms of who paid for mailing letters and eventually packages, how stamps came into being and the history that can be found in the cover’s (envelopes) and the letters that they contained. We will try to have Jonathan back next spring to give another presentation for those that missed this class.
