Lot of 5: the Telepost Company utilized a new "electro-magnetic" rapid telegraph system that coordinated with the Post Office. The name "Telepost" was a contraction of telegraph and Post office. The new system was developed by Patrick B. Delaney. These certificates feature a central vignette of a woman holding a bright light in one hand and lightning bolts in the other. (3) of the certificates bear different series designations, (1) is "Series A-Class I," the other (2) are "Series B-Class II and Class III," respectively. These (3) are from 1911. Rare and unique, these are all in excellent condition. (Prag Collection) City: State: New Jersey Date: 1908-1913 hwac# 28947
