NJ MACHINE CANCELS ~ Gene Fricks Ocean City, NJ cancels: Illustrations courtesy Historical Society of Haddonfield Fig. 3: A group of Ocean City cancels from 1910 – the lower one is not a machine, but a duplex cancel used in October 1910. Earlier in the year (April), a machine cancel was in use. The top cover is earlier still (190?), and is a machine receiver. For those interested in machine cancels, we suggest the Machine Cancel Society, at their web site at http://www.machinecancel.org/about.html. 1 For further information on Barr-Fyke cancels, see http://swansongrp.com/machines.html.

Jean Walton ~ THE NEW JERSEY PHILATELIST, 1892 THE NEW JERSEY PHILATELIST, 1892 By Jean Walton At NOJEX a few years ago, I discovered that our NJPH was not the first philatelic journal to originate in Califon, New Jersey. Must be something it the water. Here is an example of philatelic “writing” from a hundred and twenty years ago: Fig. 1: The second issue of the New Jersey Philatelist, published in Califon, NJ in December 1892 – the first was published in November 1892. It is listed as the official journal of the Standard Philatelic Association. 1 Each issue consists of a few pages, mostly filled with advertising, mixed with a few stamp offers, and a bit of news. I am particularly fond of the note in Figure 2, indicating that Stamp Cranks should send for a copy of the Curiosity Cllector (sic) from J. D. Bartlett in South Amboy, although he seems to have lived in Demarest. This appears to be the same J.D. Bartlett who visited with editor Kitchin and said he had a good time – “ no girls you know!” and who is the subject of the puzzle. He appears to have been a member of the American Philatelic Association, and no doubt familiar with another NJ philatelist of that period, Hiram Deats of Flemington.
