Alto Saxophone

From Stamps of the World

The alto saxophone, also referred to as the alto sax or simply the alto, is a member of the saxophone family of woodwind instruments invented by Belgian instrument designer Adolphe Sax in the 1840s, and patented in 1846. It is pitched in E♭, and is smaller than the tenor, but larger than the soprano. The alto sax is the most common saxophone and is commonly used in popular music, concert bands, chamber music, solo repertoire, military bands, marching bands, and jazz (such as big bands, jazz combos, swing music). The fingerings of the different saxophones are all the same so a saxophone player can play any type of saxophone. More infos Wikipedia

Meter Marks

Postage meters first appeared experimentally at the end of the 19th century and came into general use worldwide starting in the 1920s. By the 1960s more mail was being franked by postage meter than with traditional adhesive stamps. The trend continues today as mechanical postage meters are displaced by newer and more versatile digital franking machines and systems.
In 2005 Joel Hawkins and Rick Stambaugh published The International Postage Meter Stamp Catalog, in 2008 it was followed by a supplement. Text in italic letters point out the used machines. For more information see https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/International_Postage_Meter_Stamp_Catalog
