WASHINGTON, D. C.

RAPID CANCELLING MACHINE

SLOGAN CANCELLATIONSTHROUGH OCTOBER 2001

SPECIAL THANKS

Special thanks are extended to Bob Milligan who spent considerable time going through the Post Mark

Museum's collections searching out the earliest and latest dates of Washington, DC slogan cancellations. This

listing would be nowhere as complete without his efforts. Nor would the accuracy. His relentless detail

checking and proofreading has been extremely helpful in preparing this listing.

INTRODUCTION

Almost 250 different machine slogan cancellations have been identified after recording over 2500 strikes.

While the earliest and latest dates of use have come from this data base of strikes, approximately 95% of the

data is really representative of only three collections -- the Washington Philatelic Society's George Turner

Collection of District of Columbia Postal History (now dispersed), the Post Mark Museum's collections, and the

Editor's personal collection. Another 3% or so comes from Robert J. Payne's United States Promotional

Slogan Cancellations 1899 - 1940 , 2nd printing, 2007. So it should be expected that more slogans and earlier

and later dates of use exist.

The October 2001 date was selected as a cut-off date for this study to coinside with the time period for the

Washington Stamp Collectors Club's District of Columbia Postal History Project. The Washington, DC

Processing & Distribution Center was closed from 21 October 2001 through June 2004 due to anthrax

contamination. There were no Washington, DC machine postmarks, slogan or otherwise, produced during this

period. Even after June 2004 mail has not been processed at the Washington, DC P & D Center (renamed

the Joseph Curseen, Jr. and Thomas Morris, Jr. Processing and Distribution Center). Since 2004 mail bearing

a Washington, DC post mark can be seen including one machine slogan cancellation, CELEBRATING / THE

230TH / ARMY / BIRTHDAY. But these marks were applied at the Suburban P & D C in Gaithersburg,

Maryland. Thus the 21 October 2001 date became a logical stopping point.

In this listing, the absence of a Latest Date of Use normally indicates only one strike known. Thus, this Editor

would appreciate hearing from anyone with any machine slogan cancellations not listed and earlier or later

dates of use. Please send an image, photocopy or scan, of the strike to this Editor, C. A. Stillions, at 1435

Fourth Street, S. W., No. B212, Washington, DC 20024-2227 or at [email protected].
