Mystic Stamp company history timeline

1923

The story of Mystic Stamp Company began in 1923 when Lawrence K. Shaver purchased starter stock from Mekeel’s Weekly Stamp News.

1935

He graduated from high school in 1935 and founded the Maynard Sundman Stamp Company with just $400 and a small line of credit from H.E. Harris, a prominent stamp dealer from Boston and the same man who helped several businessmen get their start.

1952

Maynard’s biggest stroke of business came in 1952 when he ran a nationwide ad in the Sunday supplements offering a free set of 10 stamps from Bohemia and Moravia depicting Adolf Hitler.

1954

Like Shaver’s business, the newly named Littleton Stamp Company (renamed the Littleton Stamp and Coin Company in 1954) began in a single room office with only a handful of employees.

1989

By 1989, Mystic’s staff and inventory had outgrown its home and moved to a brand-new 50,000-square foot facility.

In 1989, Mystic’s business had expanded so much that it outgrew its old home and moved to a newly built facility across town.

2002

Nick’s Stamps was established in 2002 and is located in San Diego California.

2010

In 2010, he pledged $250,000 to the National Postal Museum to help found the William H. Gross Stamp Gallery.
