      This page presents the research of Robert Farnsworth into U.S. Scott #1 - #293, postal issues which are not listed on my Numbers missing from my 2020 U.S. stamp catalog . None of issues were ever serviced on cacheted First Day Covers (FDC's), so they are outside the primary focus of this website. I am presenting Mr. Farnsworth's research for those collectors who are interested in these issues.

• The year 1857 had a few series issued, #18- #24, #25- #30A, #31- #39.
