William Barlow Jr.'s Award-Winning Exhibit on the History of the Machine Cancels of Boston, Massachusetts
Our Society's former president, William Barlow, Jr., produced an award-winning exhibit
(2008 Indypex GOLD, Napex GOLD, Postmark Society award, and many more)
on the history of machine cancels used in Boston, Massachusetts.
It should be noted that Boston was a major center for experimentation with new machines, and study
of American flag machines used in this city alone offers
an amazing variety. The exhibit goes well beyond the American
company and is a useful education for both new and experienced machine cancel collectors.
