Don’t forget. the USCS Sales Circuits is currently listing U S Navy patches on eBay. Check out salescirc1 as the seller. Have a collection you want to dispose of? The USCS can handle that for you. Contact sbmilstein@gmail.com (Stew Mi
lstein) for more information.Be advised that through the efforts of myself and USCS member Neal Mills, permission was granted by the author of the Nicholson “catalog” for the USCS to copyright and sell the works of Tazewell Gatling Nicholson. It is available on this site in PDF format. To this day covers by Taze are still being discovered by collectors.
Update on ordering Decatur Chapter naval covers. Unfortunately George has passed away. His wife will be filling orders for the chapter from now on. All orders and or checks to Mary Ann Marcincin, 911 Mohrsville Rd., Shoemakersville PA 19555-6720. If you want price li8sts send a #10 SASE to her with .86 postage attached.
We need to do a little detective work to see if the volume is still under any copyright laws and or try to contact a relative. Two other sources would be member Joe Myles and or MERCATOR Chapter, USCS.
If you have not noticed, our sales on eBay are tax tree to the USCS. We are registered as a non-profit with 100% of our sales going to the USCS. So, bid away and support YOUR society. Recently a large donation of patches and ship event programs by Joe Myles have been listed: seller is salescirc1 Thanks.
Our limits have been raised greatly, so many more covers, programs and patches can be listed each month. Don’t forget to visit eBay and look for seller salsecirc1
Many interesting ship event programs and ship jacket patches have been uploaded by seller salescirc1. One is a USS NAUTILUS SSN 571
launch program. Take a look on eBay.I have been assisting Stew with the sale of this donation. I am listing both Navy ship patches and programs from the large donation. Check out seller salescirc1 and bid. Our limitations on how many items we can list has been greatly increased by eBay. Check out the covers, patches and programs.
John Macco. I think we need some advise on this publication. Perhaps a member in Belgium could track down an Obit for Ludo and see if a family member could be found. They might be able to give us permission to distribute the catalog. There are probably a hundred entries necessary to update his work. He did sell copies of his work and I think it barely covered his costs and postage. There are 112 numbered pages. Most do not have any illustrations.
I found my copy of the Ludo Janssens booklet on Tazewell Gatling Nicholson (Yes, that Gatling). It has no information on when it was printed, if it is copyright or who the publisher is. About ten years ago Ludo stopped answering emails. I was sending him covers I located that were not in his catalog. The first printed page after the cover is the preface.
There was a booklet published by the late USCS member Ludo Jenssens covering most of the covers done by Taze after his passing. It is a gem! Since its publication many new discoveries have been compiled and I keep that list with my booklet. I have no idea where a copy might be found. And at the moment my copy won’t surface for me.
