50 Years With The National Cash Register Meter Stamps
1931 - 1981
CLASS 1900
POSTAL DEVICE
On August 5, 1930, the USPOD authorized the NCR Corporationto produce taped meter stamps for use on Parcel Post Mail .
The Class 1900 Register was initially used at the home officein Dayton, Ohio on January 17, 1931 .
Domestic and Foreign acceptance of these meter machines andstamps resulted in their use on all classes of mail .
In the 1960-1970 decade, corporate competition demonstratedthat mechanical stamp production had entered The Electronic Era .
The NCR Company responded by authorizing a subsidiary, TheElectronic Communications, Inc ., Flushing, N .Y ., to manufactureon trial "an electronic meter stamp device ." The "Pilot Trial"stamps appeared on August 8, 1974 and were discontinued in late1981 .
Featured characteristics, rates, and usages of the stamps inNorth America and Foreign countries are displayed in the Exhibit .
BLUE DOTS indicate the Rarity Factors .
