Reason the stamp was issued: This set of five stamps was issued to commemorate some of the first American automobiles. It follows the popular Classic Cars set (#2381-85).
About the stamp design: The stamps were created by the same artist, Ken Dallison, who was the talent behind the Classic Cars stamps. He specializes in painting cars, and his work has appeared in several publications. In addition to the Classic Cars set, Dallison also did the artwork for some of the stamps in the Transportation series and the Pioneers of Aviation airmail stamps.
First Day City: These stamps were dedicated on the second day of the American Stamp Dealers Association’s Postage Stamp Mega-Event. The event was sponsored by the American Philatelic Society and the US Postal Service. IT was held at the Jacob K. Javits Conventions Cetner in New York City. Ken Dallison, the stamps’ designer, was one of about 500 people who attended the ceremony.
History the stamp represents:
1894 Haynes: In 1894 Elwood Haynes (1857-1925) designed and produced one of America’s first successful automobiles. He enlisted the help of Elmer and Edgar Apperson for the actual construction of this buggy-type machine, which featured a single-cylinder, one-horsepower engine. It was first driven on July 4, 1894, and traveled at speeds of 6 to 7 miles per hour. Now on display in the Smithsonian Institution, the 1894 Haynes is the oldest US automobile still in existence.
Inspired by their success, Haynes and the Apperson brothers formed the Haynes-Apperson Co. in 1898. The two parties split-up in 1902, and in 1905 the company’s name was changed to the Haynes Automobile Company. In 1904 the first production models were produced. These cars featured 2- and 4-cylinder engines, sliding-gear transmissions, and shaft drives.
A trained engineer and chemist, Haynes created numerous alloys, including tungsten chrome steel, chromium nickel, chromium cobalt, and a type of stainless steel. His inventions included mufflers and carburetors – he was the first person to use aluminum in an automotive engine. Haynes also claimed to receive the first US traffic ticket in 1895, when a bicycle policeman ordered him to get off the streets of Chicago!
