Regional stamp show set for Oct. 29

After a two-year hiatus due to Covid, the Allentown Philatelic Society will resume sponsoring its biannual Eastern Pennsylvania Stamp Show (EPASS) from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29 at the Schnecksville Fire Company, 4550 Old Packhouse Road, Schnecksville, PA 18078. There is free parking and no admission fee. Food service will be provided by the fire company.

EPASS will feature 12 dealers, 25 tables, a youth and beginners area offering free stamps and collecting materials, hundreds of dollars in door prizes and an historical exhibit. The club will also accept donations of stamps and supplies that will be used to promote the hobby.

Individuals that have inherited collections are encouraged to bring their material to the show for evaluation and possible sale to club members and participating dealers.

The stamp club meets on the first Tuesday of every month at the American Legion Post No. 367, 609 Fullerton Ave., Whitehall, PA 18053. Meetings include auctions, visual presentations and trading among members. The club also maintains a philatelic library for research and information.

The organization will celebrate its 100th anniversary next year and plans are underway to mark that milestone. The Allentown chapter is one of the oldest continuously operating stamp clubs in the country.
