CHRISTMAS EXPERIMENTS
BY RICHARD D. MARTORELLI
BY CHARLES POSNER
U.S. Postal Service Often Tried
New Things With Holiday Stamps
Christmas postage has been a real test tube, from the
concept of depicting a religious theme on a stamp to the use
of luminescent tagging, precancels, and self-adhesives.
Post Office Honored Huge Project in 1952
The Grand Coulee Dam in Washington state was
the largest manmade project ever. The dam and its
water reclamation project were easy subjects for a
new stamp, described in Posner’s series on stamps
from the 1950s to the 1980s.

A Modern Collectible
The Snowflake stamped envelope of 1988
was a commercial disaster, but has led to a
set of intriguing philatelic covers.
Mediterranean Island of Cyprus
The colony marked 50 years as a colony
in 1928 with a set of its first engraved
pictorials. Surprisingly, the king appears
on just one of the 10 stamps.
