Carriers & Locals Society 36th Annual Auction

Americana Stamps is proud to support the Carriers & Locals Society’s 36th Annual Auction—the largest in the society’s history! With over 700 lots and a new live Auto-Clerk format, this landmark sale runs April 12–13, 2025. Open to all collectors, bidding is now live—don’t miss it!

Meticulously Captured

Our commitment to preserving philatelic heritage has driven us to redefine how images are captured and presented in the auction setting.

Every lot, regardless of its rarity factor, is presented with a suite of high-resolution images to accurately showcase what is being sold. This includes photos of all items contained in the lot, and close-up details of postmarks and other aspects of the lot that prospective bidders might want to evaluate closely.

By capturing such high-quality imagery, perspective bidders can closely inspect lots online and bid in confidence

Intentionally Curated

When preparing our auctions, we take pride in going above and beyond in typical descriptions , which solely provide basic identifications.

We are committed to providing a rich context for each lot that celebrates the item’s history and relevance by providing Provenance, Links to reference articles/research material, Links to philatelic certifications, Interviews with philatelic experts, and High-Resolution imagery of ALL aspects of the item.

In doing so, it is our intent that our auctions become a “living” census and repository of references to engage, educate, and excite collectors for years to come.

Passionately Presented

At Americana Stamps, we take a deliberate and thoughtful approach to curating our auctions. We are committed to creating an auction experience that celebrates the significance of all of our lots.

For that reason, we meticulously curate lots, breaking down large collections into smaller, more meaningful lots. Each lot is accompanied by in-depth research, descriptions, and high-resolution images to equip prospective bidders with all the information we have available.
