The U.S. Philatelic Classics Society is the successor of "The Three Cent 1851-57 Unit" (Unit Number 11) of the American Philatelic Society. It was originally founded by a group of '51 to '57 specialists that included Dr. Carroll Chase, Stanley B. Ashbrook, and Leo J. Shaughnessy. Since its founding, the Society has broadened its scope to include postal issues and postal history from the Stampless era up to the Bureau Issues.
![]() ![]() ![]() Our members include both collectors and students. Some members have been students for more than 50 years; others for only a short time. Many have written articles that have been published in our award winning quarterly magazine, The Chronicle, and in other publications. Other members have written books, such as James Cole's Cancellations and Killers of the Bank Note Era; Simpson's U.S. Postal Markings (1851-61); Neinken's The United States One Cent Stamp of 1851 to 1861; and North Atlantic Mail Sailings 1841-75 by Walter Hubbard and Richard Winter. We emphasize the need to share the results of our studies and research with fellow students and collectors. But most of all, we are here to promote enjoyment and fun from a hobby that has given us many hours of pleasure.
