This is a list of all known Postal Meters used in Alaska during Statehood (Jan. 3, 1959) through the end of the 20th century (Dec. 31, 1999). However, I do not attempt to list all varieties possible within the same meter number. The same owner of a given meter can change a slogan, buy another machine etc. I list all known meter numbers only and try to picture an example wherever possible. Please send any updates you might have to Dirk van Gelderen, Voorkade 74, 2771 ZB Boskoop, Netherlands or e-mail them to me. All help is greatly appreciated!
Here you will find how the listing is built. .
This catalog is dedicated to the memory of Raymond A. Fay, a great friend who brought me into collecting this specialty. He passed away in 1997 and is greatly missed!
