CWPS President Daniel Knowles’ exhibit “Trans-Mississippi River Express Mail Service by the CSA POD and Private Individuals during the American Civil War” was presented the Grand Award at the Collectors Club of New York (CCNY) 2025 Single Frame Competition.
Dan was also awarded the “CCNY Friendship Cup” which is given to the exhibit voted as the best by the Club members (similar in nature to the “Most Popular Exhibit Award”).

- Alfredo Frohlich – Replating Colombia’s 1861 1 Peso Stamp
- Chip Gliedman – The Temperance Movement’s Use of the Mails in English-speaking Countries in the Mid-19th Century
- Michael Wilson – “Golden Age of Flight” & A Postal Thief
