Michael,
 
No, not all posters have an NSS number -- those produced throughout the years by other printing outfits besides NSS did not and all those produced after the NSS went out of business in the mid-80's of course do not. I know you're aware of the LAMP site -- it's always a good source of information on stuff like this. There's a good article on the NSS and the numbering system at:
 
 
and there's an ambitious list of NSS numbers at:
 
 
... it's nowhere near complete, but is the most extensive one I know of on the internet. Bruce purchased an official NSS log book a couple of years back that probably has a near-complete number list, but he has yet to make it available to the public.

Subject: [MOPO] NSS numbers

1.  people say that every poster must have an NSS number ???   i believe i have some without.   possible ?   but, when they do, don't the following rules apply?
 
 
2. don't all NSS numbers begin with the last 2 digits of the year first, then followed by a dash ( - ) or a slash ( / ) or backslash ( \ ) ???  
 
so--  wouldn't an NSS number look like  47/25  or  47/130  or  46/854  or  53-26  or  58\241 or 47-491  ???
 
 
3.  many posters that I have without an NSS number sometimes contain a few numbers on the bottom, but they have the full year:  copyright 1935 then it says 7881   ///////     copyright 1939 then it says 3167   /////   copyrighted 1942 then it says  23817
 
 
4.  i do not believe an NCC number merely is 561234 or 44234 (meaning a 1956 or 1944 year because of the first 2 digits)
 
5.  IS THERE A LISTING OF ALL NSS NUMBERS ??????????   any good article????
