 The Rathkamp
Matchcover Society had its beginning in May, 1939, although it
was not formally conceived until September, 1941. In May of 1939,
a group of enthusiastic matchcover collectors got together in
New York to go to the Brooklyn Navy Yard to pick up Navy ship
covers and also visit the World's Fair to see what covers it
might have.
Since this meeting was such a great success,
it was decided that it would be a good idea if they got together
once a year. This resulted in a "convention" held at
the home of Henry Rathkamp in Newport, Rhode Island, in September
of 1939. Plans were laid for a second "convention"
to be held in May of 1940.
Unfortunately, Henry Rathkamp died in the
spring of 1940, but the "convention" was still held
in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, at the home of another collector. It
was at this second "convention" that plans were made
to organize a club the following year. During the week of September
11, 1941, at the home of Ken Riggs in Pocasset, Massachusetts,
45 collectors from 8 states and the District of Columbia met
and formed the Rathkamp Memorial Society of Matchcover Collectors.
In later years, the name was shortened to the Rathkamp Matchcover
Society. Membership has gone up and down over the years; it reached
a peak of almost 2,000 members from every state in the union,
plus Canada and more than 8 foreign countries in the mid-1980s.
Today, it is the largest phillumenic organization in North America
and the largest in the world that focuses primarily on matchcovers,
rather than boxes or labels. It's also the world's oldest phillumenic
organization.
