  • September 9, 2014 – Canal Zone Gems

    APS Presentation.  By Col. James T. DeVoss.  The material covered in this program is from the period beginning in 1903, when the United States began to lease the Canal Zone from Panama, to 1928, when the Canal Zone started issuing its own definitive stamps rather than overprinting U.S. stamps. The effects of the Canal Zone’s political situation on its postal history and stamps are of interest. Emphasis is on errors and overprints, as well as postage dues and air mail stamps
