[HCDX] Re: [radiostamps] RESEARCHING EKKO AND OTHER VERIFICATION STAMPS

[Arthur Mongan <cind_revs@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
  Several years ago, a dealer on eBay had a number (probably 25 to 50 or
more) of the "EKKO" type stamps put out by radio stations possibly before
the EKKO Company, Chicago, IL published their 1924 album. I had thought
about requesting permission from him to capture images of them as I was
usually the far under bidder. I was too busy with other projects and never
contacted him for permission.
  There was an active group ten years ago called the Committe to Preserve
Radio Verifications but I got busy writing a catalog of merchant trading
stamps. In 1999 as soon as that was printed I got involved in a project with
perforated initials in US revenues. The chairman of that project died early
this year and I took over the project early this month.
   I have exhibited radio amateur QSL cards that used QSL Bureau stamps at
several national stamp shows. I had hoped to get a draft catalog out but the
revenue project has priority.
   I have seen stamps put out for Adventist World Radio but am not sure how
they were used.

   Have fun, Art Mongan
