Daniel Deronda Berolzheimer (June 30, 1877 – August 24, 1952), of New York City, was a philatelist who was named to the Hall of Fame of the American Philatelic Society.

Collecting interests

[edit]

Berolzheimer had a number of postage stamp collections, but specialized in the collection and study of postal stationery, including postal cards and postal envelopes. Because of Berolzheimer's background as a chemist, he was able to study, and write on, variations of paper, inks, and color characteristics of the stationery.

Along with Victor Berthold and Julius (John) Murray Bartels, he was known[by whom?] as one of the “three B’s” of postal stationery.[citation needed]

Postal literature

[edit]

Berolzheimer wrote numerous articles on postal stationery and authored a column in Stamps magazine. He was also a consultant on postal stationery to the Scott's Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps. He also authored the Bartels Postal Card Catalogue and served as advisory editor of the Thorp-Bartels Catalogue.

Philatelic activity

[edit]

Because of his expertise, Berolzheimer served on the expert committee of the Philatelic Foundation.

Honors and awards
