Final Days before the Live Auction!

For the first time ever, the Carriers & Locals Society is hosting a LIVE Auto-Clerk auction on April 12-13, 2025—and bidding is now open!
This is the largest auction in society history, featuring over 700 lots, including many rare and seldom-seen items across Carriers, Locals, Expresses, and Independent Mails.

The auction will be conducted using a Live Auto-Clerk format. Lots open one at a time for 30 seconds, and if any bids are made with under 10 seconds left, the clock resets with an additional 10 seconds to allow for further bids until the lot closes.

With only a 10% buyer’s premium, this auction is open to both members and non-members.

At Americana Stamps, we are proud to support the society’s mission of advancing research and collecting in this fascinating area of philately. The Carriers and Locals Society has long been a leader in preserving and sharing knowledge through its award-winning journal, extensive online archives, and expert resources, helping collectors worldwide deepen their understanding of this material.

Our President, Angelo Ismirnioglou, who serves as the society’s Auction Manager, has worked to transition the auction to a new state-of-the-art auction platform, ensuring a seamless bidding experience for all participants.

Thank you for your continued support of Americana Stamps and the Carriers & Locals Society! Join the Carriers & Locals Society to receive the Penny Post, their Quarterly Journal and to Support their Research and Study of this exciting field of American Philately.

Happy Bidding!
