Welcome to the New York Chapter of the U.S. Philatelic Classics
Society.
The New York Chapter is a group of collectors who are interested
in nineteenth century U.S. stamps and covers. Our chapter meets
on the second Tuesday of each month (except July and August) at
7:00 PM at the Collector's Club, located at 22 East 35th Street,
New York, NY.
At most meetings you can hear a very interesting presentation by
a guest or member on a topic related to nineteenth century U.S.
philately. We generally send out photocopies of some of the presentation
material a short time after the meeting. On occasion we might have
a "show and tell" discussion or ask our members to put together
a one-frame exhibit of their favorite material.
Visitors are always welcome to attend our meetings. A group of
members meets beforehand at 6:00 PM for a "Dutch treat" dinner at
a nearby restaurant and all visitors are cordially invited to join
us.
The chapter dues are only $15 per year, which covers the cost
of printing and postage for the monthly mailings. If you would like
to join our club, please e-mail Michael Heller at:
mheller@nystamp.org for
further information.
