The Canadian Meter Study Group Newsletter

1981-2005

 

The CMSG is an affiliate of the Postal History Society of Canada. From 1981 to 2005 the newsletter provided detailed descriptions of postage meter history and activities (since 2005 current information is presented in a regular column in the MSS Quarterly Bulletin). A collection of searchable PDF scans of every issue of the newsletter is available on the CMSG page and at the PHSC site. Also on the CMSG page is the CMSG Catalog that was presented in the NL a few pages at a time. A complete Article Index is also available.

 

The Francotyp Specimen Handbook

1949-1991

 

A bit longer than 10 years ago, German collector of Francotyp postage meter material purchased a book of what appear to be specimens or essays of Francotyp meter stamps. Dozens of these print designs have never been seen in use in the many countries that they represent. It is assumed that an employee at Francotyp in Germany maintained this book but we have no more information as to its history. The collector has generously provide the images in this book for our library.
