Philippine Philatelic Journal
EDITOR'S
CORNER:
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
It is time for the IPPS Journal to have a new Editor, and it is also time to turn over the
day to day operation of IPPS to others. It has been 23 years since I first took over the Journal and for
about 20 years, I have taken care of all aspects of IPPS. Thanks to you, the members, it has been a good
time. IPPS has been successful because of members willing to give a little of their personal time and
effort.
It's time to consider the IPPS of the future, what needs to be done, and how best to accomplish it. I contacted a few members that have been helpful over the years and asked them to form a committee to work
out a plan of succession. Don Peterson has assumed the role of facilitator to get things moving.
Don needs members to step forward with offers of help. His address is: Don Peterson, 7408 Alaska
Ave., NW, Washington DC 20012. E-mail: dpeterson4526@comcast.net. I will work with those who
accept the responsibility for the Journal and for IPPS, but I want to be "free" by the end of 2008 at the
latest, earlier if possible.
What am I going to do in my retirement? My first priority is to spend more time with the IPPS website. Jon Hardgrove, our Webmaster, has done a magnificent job in setting up the site. I encourage you to
take the time to log on to: www.theipps.info. Jon has links to other sites devoted to Philippines collecting with a wealth of information.
Jon has also just completed a project that is a first for Philippine Philately and for IPPS members. A
set of four CD‟s that is the complete indexed archive of IPPS Journals from Volume 1, Number 1 to the
last issue of 2007 and it is available for purchase. This is the most complete reference available on all
aspects of Philippine stamp collecting. Full details are available on page 2.
This is a milestone time for IPPS. Nearly all the dues have come in for 2008, and there has been an increase in the number of members sending in more than the basic dues. Since we are a small group, an
increase in members makes this a better, more diverse organization. Some of you have friends interested
in the hobby; encourage them to join. Send me their names and I'll gladly send them a free Journal as
an incentive.
Contact Don Peterson with your willingness to actively participate in the organization, and, above all,
keep up your great support for IPPS. It makes a difference. Thanks for 23 great years!

New! Complete Indexed Archives of IPPS Journals
Are now Available on CD from IPPS!
Jon Hardgrove
The IPPS has digitalized the IPPS Journals from the very first issue through December 31, 2007 on a
series of four CD‟s. These are available from IPPS for $60.00 plus shipping ($5.00 within the US and
$8.00 Overseas). As all articles published in the Journals will now be available at your fingertips, this is
the most complete reference currently available for Philippine philately.
For the student of postal history, the disks provide, at the touch of the mouse, not only the information
written by the recognized experts in Philippines stamps but also the illustrations used in the articles. To
name just a few of the topics covered in the early Journals: “ERRORS, FREAKS and ODDITIES” by
Linda Stanfield, “ESTABLISHMENT OF THE POSTAL SYSTEM IN THE PHILIPPINES” by
Emmauel Encarnacion, “CIVIL CENSOR MARKS OF THE JAPANESE OCCUPATION OF THE
PHILIPPINES” by Eugene Garrett. This is just the beginning of what is in disc one. The three other
disks are as packed with important formation. This is a “must have” for the student of Philippine Philately. A complete research tool that is available 24/7.
The real power of the archives is the ease with which one can use the computer‟s ability to research a
topic. The search function enables the researcher to find every occurrence of a key word or subject in
every Journal. The speed of the search will vary with the age and speed of the computer, but this researcher, on a two-year old computer was able to find every reference to "Lambert" in less than 1 minute. Any other keyword may likewise be researched in the same time frame.
IPPS members interested in this opportunity to add to their personal references libraries are encouraged
to log on to www.theipps.info , click the "NEWS" link, and open the sample file. Members can read the
sample Journal from beginning to end on line and use the search function described.
The CD‟s are written in Adobe Acrobat PDF Format and have been indexed using the Adobe Acrobat
Paper Capture indexing feature. To use the CD‟s, one must have installed the free Adobe Acrobat
Reader with a version number of at least 5. The current version is 8 and may be downloaded free from
the Adobe website. Click Adobe Acrobat. Currently, the button for the free version of Adobe Acrobat
Reader is located on the bottom right of the Adobe Acrobat page. The discs will arrive with detailed
instructions for installation and usage.
For more proficiency in the use of Adobe, check out the reference books on Adobe. My personal favorite is the “ Dummy” series.

U.S. Consulate Mail from the Spanish Philippines
Don Peterson
During the Spanish period, several foreign countries established consulates in the Philippines. Peterson
and Lewis (2000) first described consulate mail from the Spanish Philippines, and stated that consulates
were established by the United States, Belgium, Austria, Netherlands, Russia, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, and others. This article discusses and identifies examples of U.S. Consulate mail and
their corner card types from the Spanish Philippines.
The Consulate
The U.S. Consular Service was established by Congress on April 14, 1792. The U.S. Consuls, which
were appointed by the President, were primarily responsible for promoting American commerce and
assisting U.S. citizens in that country (U.S. Department of State, 2007). In the Philippines, after a U.S.
Consul was appointed by the President, the head of Spain‟s government was notified. Spain then prepared an order, which was sent to the Governor-General of the Philippines acknowledging recognition
(an “execuatur”) of the new U.S. Consul (Cassidy, 1973). Diplomatic matters, which were of a political
nature, could also be handled by a U.S. Consul, or another appointed official (Hove, 2007). In the Spanish Philippines, the U.S. Consuls rarely served in a strictly diplomatic capacity, and no specificallyappointed diplomats are known until after the Spanish-American War.

Manila, 1897-1899 (Devoy, 1895)
Unsung Hero of the Spanish-American War
The first U.S. consul, Andrew Stuart, was established in the Spanish Philippines in 1817. Although the
U.S. Consulate was located in Manila, two sub-consulates were located in Iloilo (from 1864) and Cebu
(from 1869). Table 1 lists the U.S. Consulates in Manila and two sub-consulates at Iloilo and Cebu
from 1817 through 1899 (Cassidy, 1973 and Fernandez, 1977). Some consulate officials were also well
known in the Philippine business community. For example, George W. Hubbell, of Peele, Hubbell and
Company, was U.S. Consul between 1822 and 1831; and Jonathan Russell, of Russell, Sturgis and
Company, was U.S. Consul between 1871 and 1875. From Table 1, you will note there were many
other named officials when the U.S. Consul was not present, with titles such as Consular Agent, ViceConsul, Consul-in-Charge, etc. According to the State Department (Hove, 2007), these terms have had
different and conflicting meanings over the past 100 years , which will not be addressed in this article.
The last U.S. Consul during this period, Oscar F. Williams, is discussed in detail later in this article.

The most significant person associated with Philippine Consulate mail during the Spanish period was
William A. Cooper, the U.S. Despatch Agent, in San Francisco, California. Mr. Cooper was appointed
the U.S. Despatch Agent in San Francisco on July 9, 1884. As a U.S. Department of State employee, he
was responsible for receiving and sending all diplomatic pouches, mailbags, packages, and U.S. citizen
household belongings between the Philippines and the United States. Nearly all U.S. Consulate mail
from the Philippines was addressed to W.A. Cooper, whose office was located in the San Francisco Post
Office. During the 19th century, despatch agents were located in several major cities in the United
States, including San Francisco. However, only one city, New York, had the distinction of having a primary despatch agent for the U.S. Department of State. In 1886 or 1887, W.A. Cooper was named the
4
second primary despatch agent in the United States (U.S. Department of State, 2007). In addition to the
Philippines, he was probably the despatch agent for most of the U.S. Consulates in Asia. He had a remarkably long career, resigning 34 years later on August 28, effective September 30, 1920 (National
Archives and Records Administration, 2007).
Consulate Mail
The foreign consulates transmitted outbound mail through the Philippine post offices. I am aware of
only two U.S. Consulate, Manila covers that were sent via diplomatic pouch (or were hand carried) – an
1839 letter (discussed below) and an April 1898 stampless cover (Figure 9). Such mail would not have
gone through a Philippine post office. Foreign-bound consulate mail was not considered “official” mail
by Spanish authorities, nor did the Spanish allow any free franking privilege (Cassidy, 1973). Further,
the postal procedures for U.S. Consuls were prescribed in Section 6 of a U.S. Act approved March 3,
1845, which stated that the U.S. Consuls were to pay the foreign postage of letters sent to the United
States, and that the postage will be repaid to the Consul or credited to his account at the U.S. Department
of State (Frajola et al., 2006). Thus, consulate mail was “normally” affixed with Philippine postage and
sent through the regular mail. Consulate mail is quite interesting, in that it was usually affixed with one
or more markings, such as a consulate corner card (printed return address), consulate handstamp (often
in color), wax seal (usually red) with the consulate name, or a consulate adhesive seal (often in color).
Beginning in the 1870s, most U.S. Consulate mail from the Philippines went eastbound via U.S. subsidized Pacific Mail Steamship Company (PMSC) ships because they were faster and reliable (Riddell et
al., 1971). After 1875, when the U.S. subsidy to the PMSC ceased, U.S. Consulate mail continued to be
carried east-bound, but was carried by private ships, including the then non-subsidized PMSC ships.
U.S. Consulate mail from the Spanish Philippines is known from 1839 through 1898. The earliest
known is a letter from Henry Sturgis, U.S. Consul, Manila, addressed to Spanish Captain (Governor)General Luis Lardizabal y Montojo, dated June 11, 1839 (Lewis, 2007 and Peterson, 2007). No corner
card is present. The letter had no postal markings, and was probably hand-carried from Sturgis to the
Governor-General. The letter, currently owned by Geoffrey Lewis, is about payment of postage for foreign correspondence. The most fascinating aspect of this letter is the U.S. Consulate seal printed on the
letterhead (Figure 2).
Figure 2
The most interesting aspect of U.S. Consulate mail is the corner card. It is quite rare to find U.S. Consulate mail from the Spanish Philippines without a printed corner card (e.g., the above 1839 letter).
5
The earliest example of Philippine mail with a U.S. Consulate corner card is a December 20, 1878, cover
from the U.S. Consulate in Manila to the Governor of Laguna Province in Santa Cruz (Figure 4). It is
also the only example of U.S. Consulate mail sent within the Islands (Lewis, 2007). Table 2 lists the
nine known examples of U.S. consulate mail. From the nine examples, six different U.S. Consulate
corner card types have been identified. These types are illustrated in Figure 3. Most overseas examples
of U.S. Consulate mail from Manila from 1889 through 1898 were addressed to Mr. Cooper. Interestingly, Mr. Cooper was also a stamp collector, and hence, the likely reason we are aware of these covers
(Vora, 2007). No U.S. Consulate mail has yet been found from the sub-consulate offices in Iloilo or
Cebu.

U.S. Consulate Corner Card Types 1, 3, and 6 are generic consulate types that could be used by any
U.S. Consulate in the world. They were likely printed in the United States. Types 2, 4, and 5, which
specifically identify the U.S. Consulate in Manila were likely locally-printed in Manila. The U.S.printed envelopes often have private U.S. watermarks, whereas the Manila locally-printed envelopes are
usually unwatermarked. The 1839 folded lettersheet is watermarked (Lewis, 2007).

U.S. Consul Oscar F. Williams, 1897-1899
After completing this study, I thought it might be interesting to say a few words about U.S. Consul
Oscar F. Williams (Figure 1), the last U.S. Consul during the Spanish period and first during the beginning of the U.S. Administrative period. Although a separate story would be more fitting for this man
and the historic times he lived, a few details about his Manila career, including his heroic act of espionage at the start of the Spanish-American War, are too interesting not to tell.
Oscar F. Williams was appointed U.S. Consul to the Philippines on October 19, 1897, having previously
served as U.S. Consul to France. Williams did not begin actual service in Manila as the U.S. Consul
until early January 1898 (The New York Times, 1899). His office was probably located on Plaza
Cervantes, in the Binondo District of Manila, where the British Consulate also had its office (Price,
2007). Beginning in early April 1898, the U.S. Department of State was concerned about the safety of
Consul Williams -- anticipating Commodore Dewey‟s attack on the Spanish naval forces at Manila. On
April 8, 1898, in response to a cable from Assistant Secretary of State Adee, Williams made arrangements to transfer his responsibilities to British Consul Edward Henry Rawson-Walker. However, Spanish Governor-General Basilio Agustin would not accept his transfer, since Spain had not advised
Agustin to break “diplomatic” relations with the United States (Cassidy, 1973). Nonetheless, Agustin
took a precautionary step and advised Williams that his safety could no longer be assured (Dewey,
1913). Williams reported this to Assistant Secretary Adee, and following Adee‟s instruction, transferred
his responsibilities to the British Consul. Williams departed Manila on April 23, 1898 (Cassidy, 1973
and The New York Times, 1899), on the ESMERALDA, a steamer owned by the British-American firm
of Warner, Blodgett and Company in Manila (Peterson and Lewis, 2000), en route to Hong Kong.
What is really interesting about Williams is that he was involved in a bit of espionage. It is reported that
while in Manila, Williams gathered crucial intelligence about the Spanish forces in Manila. His letter to
Commodore Dewey on April 7(?), 1898 (Figure 9), provided some general intelligence information.
Following Williams‟s departure from Manila on April 23, he arrived in Mirs Bay (a Chinese port a short
distance from Hong Kong) on April 26, 1898, and boarded the U.S.S. OLYMPIA, flagship of Commodore Dewey, which promptly got underway on April 27, 1898 (Ellis, 1899), en route to Manila.
10
Williams immediately reported to Dewey on the specific location of Spanish gun emplacements and
strength of the Spanish fleet (Dewey, 1913). That information was helpful to Dewey‟s destruction of
Spanish Admiral Montojo‟s fleet in Manila Bay on May 1, 1898 (Clemens, 1899 and Stickney, 1899).
U.S. Consul Williams is also known to have prepared one of the earliest and most complete reports of
the Battle of Manila Bay. The report, dated May 4, 1898, was cabled to Secretary Day, Department of
State, Washington, DC (Ellis, 1899).
Figure 8 is a February 6, 1898, cover from U.S. Consul Williams to W.A. Cooper, U.S. Despatch
Agent, San Francisco, California. The U.S. Consulate mail Type 5 corner card shows the printed
name, “O. F. Williams, Consul”. Vora (2007) reports that it was very uncommon for a U.S. Consulate
corner card to bear the name of the U.S. Consul. Perhaps, for Williams, it was an ego thing.
Figure 8. 1898 (February 6) Manila to W.A. Cooper, U.S. Despatch Agent, San Francisco, California, with U.S. Consulate mail Type 5 corner card. The U.S. Consul was
Oscar F. Williams. Only one known cover with this corner card type (R. Vora collection
Camagay (1997) provides translations of French Consul G. de Berard‟s dispatches from Manila to
France during the Spanish-American War and Philippine revolutionary period. These dispatches frequently discuss his communications with numerous Spanish Governors-General (Peterson, 2007) and
U.S. Generals Wesley Merritt and E.S. Otis, but strangely, never mentioned any communications with
the U.S. Consulate. The French dispatches and U.S. War Department records (U.S. War Department,
1899) from 1897 through 1899 generally confirm that U.S. Consul Williams had a limited political and
diplomatic role in the Philippines, and was primarily engaged in normal consular service functions typical of that office. Generals Merritt and later, Otis were assigned overall command of U.S. military operations in the Philippines in 1898, including most administrative matters.
Figure 9 is an April 7(?) 1898, cover, signed by O.F. Williams, to Commodore Dewey, on the U.S.
OLYMPIA at Hong Kong. The cover has a Hong Kong post office backstamp, dated April 10, 1898.
The cover was stampless, thus it was carried in a diplomatic pouch or was hand carried on-board a ship
from Manila to Hong Kong – probably departing Manila about April 7(?), 1898. There is also a violet
“U.S. CONSULATE, HONG KONG” handstamp on the front. The enclosed letter is in the U.S. Library
of Congress, and reportedly provides Commodore Dewey with general intelligence information regarding the Spanish naval fleet in Manila Bay (C.A. Stillions, 2007).

mail Type 6 corner card. The U.S. Consul was Oscar F. Williams. Only
one known cover with this corner card type. (Charles G. Firby Auction,
November 8-9, 2002).
On August 22, 1898, Williams cabled Secretary of State William R. Day that he had resumed his role as
U.S. Consul (which actually may have occurred days earlier). However, beginning in March 1899, he
began turning over his responsibilities to the U.S. Military Command in Manila. On August 26, 1899,
his cable to the Department of State reported that on that date, all his consular responsibilities had been
transferred to General E.S. Otis; and all consulate property and archives were transferred to the U.S.
Collector of Customs in Manila (Cassidy, 1973). However, General Otis asked Williams to stay, and
commissioned him as Special Consul under the Military Government. Williams departed Manila for the
last time on October 9, 1899 (The New York Times, 1899).

DOUBLE OVERPRINT ERROR DISCOVERED
ON PHILIPPINES POSTAL CARD
Rick Miggins
Linn‟s Stamp News (June 11, 2007) has reported the discovery of a previously unlisted double overprint
error on a Philippines postal card. The 2c black Liberty postal card, Scott UX2, shown above ,
has a doubled “PHILIPPINES” overprint. The card received a certificate from the APS expertizing service on May 25, 2006, stating the double overprint error is genuine.
Unlike currently listed double overprints on postal stationery which show closely spaced doubling of
“PHILIPPINES”, the doubling on this postal card is both widely separated, and incomplete. As shown
in the illustration, the second “PHILIPPINES” is above the stamped indicia on the postal card, is skewed
upwards at an angle, and is missing the upper portion of the last four letters. The used card shows a November 21, 1903, Manila No. 2 duplex cancel, posted to Bremen, Germany. There is a December 23,
1903 Bremen receiving postmark on the left front of the cover, upside down in relation to the normal
orientation of the card. The card was “discovered” by a dealer in Ohio in a large lot of correspondence
purchased from a dealer in Germany. The story reports the card was sold to a collector in Asia for
$20,000.00. Scott has reported the error will be listed in a future edition of the catalogue.
The UPPS guide to the Postal Stationery of the Philippines currently lists three double overprints:
U12a, 4c Lincoln brown on amber, U26a, 4c Grant brown on amber; and, W2a, 1c Franklin, green on
manila wrapper. Each is listed as having only one example recorded.
Two of the three were sold in July 1993 as part of Ivy, Shreve, & Mader‟s sale of the Gilbert Plass collection. Lot 1256, described as “U26a, 4c Chocolate on amber, mint entire, “Philippines” double, fresh
and clean, choice very fine , the only recorded example of this error; ex-White.” Listed at $2,000.00, the
piece sold for $6250.00. Lot 1257, described as W2a, 1c Green on manila mint wrapper, “Philippines”
double, the wrapper is nearly folded, but well clear of the imprints, very fine and the only recorded example; ex-White.” Listed at $2,000.00, the piece sold for $4,000.00. neither price includes the 10%
buyer‟s premium.
As a historical point of reference, both of these pieces were also part of the fabulous Ferrars H. Tows
Collection of Philippines sold by Carl Pelander in 1948. The U26a, Lot 1716, sold for $57.00, and the
W2a, Lot 1723, sold for $60.00

INTERESTING ITEM
Lenny Diamond
Newspaper wrapper mailed form Pond Creed, Oklahoma Territory on April 28, 1898 to Manila Philippines. Dewey‟s attack on Manila and destruction of the Spanish fleet occurred on May 1, 1898, two
days after this was mailed. Postal service to the Philippines, Spain and the Colonies was suspended and
the marking “Return to Sender” by order of the P. O. department was for the same purpose as the well
known “Return to Sender” printed labels used somewhat later by the U. S. P. O.

WW II MAIL FROM CORREGIDOR
Bill Oliver
After the attack on the Philippines December 8, 1941 there was very little U. S. mail being sent from Manila,
or Corregidor Island located in Manila Bay. Mail traveled by any source available and would usually leave
the Island of Corregidor at night by merchant vessel, and aircraft. However, the bulk of Army, Navy, and
Marine mail that did leave the Island exited in one of seven submarines which were ordered to Manila Bay
between January and May 1942.
Col. John R. Vance, who sent this letter from Corregidor, was the Financial Officer for the United States
Army Forces Far East under General Douglas Mac Arthur and knew who was being ordered off the Island
during the war. He was able to have someone carry letters for him and post them where mail, service was
available. The envelope Figure 1 carried a letter from Col. Vance dated April 11, 1942, and was given to
one of the passengers who was leaving Corregidor Island that night aboard a PBY aircraft going to Mindanao, Philippines. The cover was then forwarded to Melbourne, Australia where it was canceled "American
Base Forces / May 15, 1942/ A. P. O. 5Ol", and sent on to his wife at Hagerstown, Maryland.
Figure 1 (reduced)
One of the last letters to leave the Island of Corregidor, Philippines
before its unconditional surrender May 6, 1942.
The boxed rubber handstamp "Examined By / Theatre Censor", and the censor tape sealing the end of the
envelope, are thought to be applied at Melbourne, Australia prior to being canceled and sent to the United
States on the next available vessel.
Corregidor fell to the enemy May 6, 1942 at midnight with the unconditional surrender of Corregidor Island
by General Wainwright to the Japanese Lieutenant General Homma. The next day, May 7, 1942, General
Wainwright ordered General William F. Sharp, who commanded the troops on Visayan Islands, and Mindanao, to surrender his troops.
After the surrender of the Philippines, Col. Vance was a prisoner of war and taken to the Island of Formosa;
then in 1944 was transferred to Manchuria. He survived the prison camps and was freed after the war returning to his wife in the United States.

CIGARETTE AND TRADING CARDS FEATURING
SPANISH-PHILIPPINE STAMPS
Nigel Gooding
Although this article in not truly philatelic, I have over the years come across a few Cigarette and Trading Cards that feature Spanish-Philippine stamps. Whilst there are various series of Cigarette and Trading cards showing stamp effigies from the more popular countries, it is nice to see that the Philippines
has been featured on some of the cards.
Cigarette Cards
Cigarette Cards were issued as early as 1875 by
tobacco manufacturers both to protect the cigarettes
by stiffening the pack, and also to gain customer loyalty to their particular brand of cigarettes. Some very
early cigarette cards were printed on silk which was
then attached to a paper backing. Each set of cards
typically consisted of 25 or 50 related subjects, for
example artists, famous sportsmen, Boy Scouts,
stamps etc. They were discontinued in order to save
paper during World War II, and never fully reintroduced thereafter.
To date, I have come across three cigarette cards depicting the following Spanish-Philippine issues:
1) 25-milesimas de peso green King Alfonso XII issue of 1879 (Scott #63) on Gavilan Cigartte Card
from Argentina. Size: 4.8cm x 7.2cm.
2) 2-4/8c on 10c Bistre Habilitado Para Correos surcharge of 1881 (Scott #113) on Gavilan Cigarette
Card from Argentina. Size: 4.8cm x 7.2cm.
3) 2-milesimas de peso violet King Alfonso XII newspaper stamp issue of 1890 (Scott #P13) with corresponding Spanish issue on M (Manuel) Malagrida Cigarette Card from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Size: 4.3cm x 7cm.
17
This stamp is Number 22 in a set of 30 stamps with reverse text stating: „Crudely produced, the first
stamps of the Philippines (then a Spanish colony) shows a libelous portrait of Queen Isabella II of Spain.
The stamps were printed in Manila; early collectors called them “Luzon” after the chief island‟.
When all 30 cards were obtained, the bottom portion was cut and returned to Twinings in London with a
self addressed envelope to receive a free packet of selected foreign stamps. I guess this remains fairly
consistent today for most Brits … no better way to enjoy your stamps than with a nice cup of Twinings
tea !!!

Telegraph Cancels on 1889 RECARGO DE CONSUMOS
Surcharged Issues are Scarce
Don Peterson
In keeping with my “Revelation” article in the Philippine Philatelic Journal (Vol. XXIX, No. 3, Third
Quarter 2007), where I reluctantly admitted that I was a “closet” Spanish Philippine revenue collector, I
continue on that topic. There is much to be said about the 1889 RECARGO DE CONSUMOS surcharged stamps. But to keep this article short, I will share one bit of information that you may not have
known.
Warren (1967) stated that the RECARGO DE CONSUMOS surcharged stamps ceased to be used for
revenue purposes on June 30, 1888. He also implied that Manila postal authorities were previously over
-zealous in their overprinting of postal, telegraph, and revenue stamps. In fact, they were overzealous to
the tune of having originally surcharged a whopping 2,900,000 stamps. As a result, in late 1888, shortages occurred of un-surcharged stamps for postal purposes. Because postal officials were aware that
new issues would not be arriving from Spain until late 1889 for issuance on January 1, 1890, they reissued the remaining RECARGO DE CONSUMOS surcharged stamps for postal, as well as telegraph
use. These re-issued surcharged stamps were in use for postal and telegraph use from early January to
August 1, 1889 (Warren, 1967).
I have been collecting used RECARGO DE CONSUMOS stamps for many years. They are hard to find.
Of the 50+ used stamps I have seen, most have postal cancels, and of these that have readable cancels,
they are all dated between January and August 1889. Only two surcharged stamps had a telegraph cancel (one is illustrated below). Warning: Beginning in 1887, postal cancels were also used on telegraph
receipts, so one is unable to tell whether the postally-canceled surcharged stamps were from postal use
or telegraph use, except that telegraph cancels were often in blue ink. In any event, telegraph cancels on
RECARGO DE CONSUMOS surcharged stamps are scarce. Can you find any more?

2 4/8c RECARGO DE CONSUMOS surcharge on
50m ochre (Scott #137) (Warren #W-294).

GARRETT AUCTION PART III
Philstamps Sets Record Price for a Single Revenue Item
Philstamps auctioned Part III of Eugene A. Garrett's collection on November 19, 2007. However, this
auction only had 4 revenue lots belonging to Gene. The revenue auction highlights came from 84 revenue lots belonging to a mysterious "New York City Collection". We should see more of this collection as
it is marked Part I. The table below shows some interesting lots with prices realized (including the 15%
buyers commission). NOTE: Lots 1-232 are Garrett's and 233-730 belong to other collectors.

I list only one Garrett item (lot #138) the popular 5000 peso
1930-34 Internal Revenue series. It continues to sell below
catalog value, much so when not XF. The next 13 listings are
from the New York City Collection and each one significant in
its own way.
Lot #640 is an 1898-99 Papel Sellado overprinted for use during
the US military period. This lot is a 5c class 12 and a similar to
a 10c class 10 lot sold in Garrett Part I for $1,380. These two
classes are not very scarce and the $264.50 paid this time represents supply and demand more closely. Lots #643 and #644 are
unique material never seen or reported before. Both are authorFigure 1. From Lot #644 Philippine
izing proofs of complete sets (10 or 12 values) of
20
documentary stamped paper for 1890-91 and 1892-93 biennials. Both sets have serial numbers of
N.0,000,000 and sold for under $500 per set--each an amazing bargain. Figure 1 (state payment lot
#644) shows the 25 peso value as series CH, a series projected to exist and now confirmed known for
this series (inscriptions at the top). Figure 2 from these state payment papers shows the un-severed
stub at top, a condition never known before now. Another stub exists for use at the province level at
the bottom.
Figure 2. From Lot #644
The curved dotted line represents the separation of this stub at Manila. Estancadas in Manila stood for
the place these papers were stored and distributed. At the province level, the Estanqueros was the contract individual who sold these items (including postage) in small cities and received a 2% commission
on sales. So far, no stubs have survived for collectors probably because no stamp appears on them. The
author would like to obtain some if they exist. Lot #645 is a used example of the later 1898-99 state
payment series used during the US military period. This February 20, 1902 series-H document shows a
previously unreported 5 peso value used on document and well worth the $517.50 price paid.
Figure 3. Part of Lot # 656.
The segment (Figure 3) at left is a portion
of the record selling revenue Philstamps
Lot #656 that sold for $4,370. To my
knowledge this is the most ever paid for a
single Philippine revenue stamp or document. The stamp is W-349B initialed by
Lieutenant C.H. Sleeper. The 1993 catalog
value of the stamp off-document is $500
and rare stamps on document can go between 5 and 10 times the individual used
stamp prices. The stamp is actually two stamps combined to make the 50c fee and seems to be a glued
piece properly tied on December 5, 1898 with a faint customs cancel. Additionally, it has pedigree
markings from the collection of Dr. James C. Perry, Chief Quarantine Office, Manila, Philippines. I
guessed it would sell close to 5-times or about $2,000. The realized price is close to 10-times and probably represents only a single bidder as it sold below the estimate.
The next 4 lots (#658, #660, #665, & #667) are customs documents and show increasing realization for
early Philippine revenue documents. They could all be benchmark prices for the future. I will just describe 2 of them. Figure 4 (lot #660) is my favorite. The description has a date error and the picture
appeared to be only a piece of the document. However, the Captain of the Port for a small city was out
of forms and also had little blank paper. So this strip is the entire document with the rate and
21
Figure 4. Back of Lot #660.
authorizing signature on the handwritten front. This Spanish tax is for 9 hours of extra loading/
unloading time (the document does not state which) at P2 per hour. I think it is a local rate implemented
to help keep a small pier open for incoming and outgoing ships, in this case the ship URANUS. It is
unique in that it has (1) stamps from 2 different Sello series, (2) 4 different stamps, and (3) a total value
of 18 pesos. Sello documents have one series, not more than 2 types of stamps, and I have not seen one
over a P2 total. Add to all of this the fact that Sello documents for all 4 individual series are scarce. I
believe it sold at least one-half of its proper value showing that "knowledge is power". In fact it did not
sell at first and was bid and obtained after the auction close date.
Figure 5 shows a nice example of the W-515a
5c vertical bisect on document. The selling
price of $517.50 is about twice that of what
these type document realized as little as 5 years
ago. It is a difficult price to maintain because
many of these documents exist.
Figure 5. Part of Lot #667.
Listed next are the JapOcc 1 peso Internal Revenue fiscal of which less than a dozen of the full stamp
and half stamp combined together are known. This time the half stamp did not sell but another one did
in Part II for just over $250. It is a desirable example as the half stamps represent actual use while the
mint entires are favors and together they make a nice set. There are 5 mint copies, 4 of which are FVF.
The 5th one has a tear and a thin and sold in this auction at a respectable $150.
Figure 6. Lot #695.
Two customs proofs complete this report on this Philstamp
auction. Figure 6 is W-888AP, the hard to find 10 peso value
with committee handstamp (lot #695). It is the first time I have
seen it either in a dealer's stock or at auction. There is also lot
#696 that has the 100 peso value in a block format. The block
has no committee handstamp(s) and these imperforate stamps
have been around for a while but unknown to Arnold Warren.
I believe a collector had a sheet and chopped it up into pairs
and blocks for sale on the stamp collecting market. They are
not common but appear regularly on the market .
This is the third year in a row that I have reviewed a Philstamps auction in the First Quarter of the calendar year of our Journal. It looks like this will become a tradition and hopefully more interesting and rare
revenue stamps will appear in subsequent years. Happy bidding!

James Kloetzel of Scott Catalogue Clarifies Article in PPJ
Don Peterson
In the last Philippine Philatelic Journal (Vol. XXIX, No. 4, Fourth Quarter 2007), I incorrectly stated
that no value changes occurred for the Lambert imperforates (Scott #340a-350a) from the 2007 to the
2008 Scott Catalogue. Thanks to a response by Editor James Kloetzel, he pointed out that these values
did increase by 10 percent or more. Mr. Kloetzel also pointed out that the decrease in the used value of
Scott #24A from $6,000 to $1,000 was a typographical error. The $1,000 value was supposed to have
been an increase in the used value for #25 from $800.00. The above changes will be included in the
2009 Scott Catalogue. We are very fortunate to have the support of Mr. Kloetzel. There is nothing better than a careful reader of the Journal to keep me on my toes. Thank you Jim.
Philippine Collectors Meet at AMERISTAMP EXPO,
Charlotte, NC on January 12, 2008
Bob Yacano presented an interesting program on “Unusual Stamps and Covers of the Japanese Occupation Period” at a meeting of Philippine collectors at AMERISTAMP EXPO, in Charlotte, NC, on January 12, 2008. The meeting was sponsored by the International Philippine Philatelic Society. A total of

New Records Set --- IPPS Mail Sale #53
(Closed January 6, 2008)
IPPS Mail Sale #53 established a new record for the most consignors (8), and highest gross receipts ($2,620.63)
since records were kept of 18 mail sales since 2001. As in previous mail sales, the most popular area was Spanish
period stamps, with 81% of the lots sold. Lot #33 (Scott #131 mint, cat. $11.00, selling for $13.00) had the most
bids. Other popular lots were #16 (Scott #33 used), 26 (Scott #58 used, color changeling), and 32 (Scott #103
used, with CERTIF cancel). Spanish period forgeries (Lots#43-63) were also popular. The 21 lots, although receiving many bids, were taken by one large “winner take all” bid (Lot #64). In future mail sales, a new “term” will
be added clarifying “winner take all” lots. The mail sales continue to be popular for obtaining low to mediumpriced Philippine stamps and covers. The Table below lists all winning lots.
