Collection of 1960s United States Philatelic Clippings (Communications Theme)

This is a collection of United States postage stamp clippings from the early to mid-1960s, specifically curated based on the theme of communications. The collection features several examples of the 4-cent 'Communications for Peace' stamp (1960), the 5-cent 'Amateur Radio' stamp (1964), and the 5-cent 'Voice of America' 25th Anniversary stamp (1967). The items are clipped from original envelopes, retaining their postmarks and cancellations. Notable cancellations include circular date stamps from Brooklyn, NY, Wilkes-Barre, PA, Lampeter, PA, and State College, PA, with dates ranging from 1961 to 1967. The physical condition shows the stamps are well-adhered to their original paper backings with clean cuts. Some clippings show slogans or wavy-line cancellations across the face of the stamps. The paper backings exhibit minor age-related toning (patina). The items are mounted inside a collector's album page with handwritten annotations in ink and pencil at the top and bottom of the page, including catalog numbers and pricing notes. The craftsmanship of the stamps themselves reflects the high-quality recessed and lithographic printing processes used by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing during this era, featuring vibrant purples, blues, and multi-colored concentric circles on the Voice of America issue.
