I've never know the USPS to us Scott Numbers... maybe I just haven't seen them do so but to my recollection I can't think of a single instance where the USPS has used them.

Greetings Mr. Ron,

I know for a fact that the U.S.P.S. uses Scott Numbers.  At least for thirteen years they sold over the counter ($5.00) "The Postal Service Guide to U.S. Stamps".  I own a copy of the 7th (1981) and 13th (1987) editions.  (I gave a third earlier issue away to S.B. member RoundnRound.)  These issues are color catalogs of postage stamps of the United States identified by Scott number, including CV for unused, used, plate block or line pair, and first day covers.  I like them because they include the quantity issued and every so often includes little tidbits about the stories behind the stamp.
.
A USPS mobile app would be useless for me.  I don't own a portable telephone.

Respectfully,

Gordon Lee

I recently received the USA Philatelic Catalog from the USPS in the mail. They have several pages pushing the new StampApp. I have never paid for an App, so I am sure I will not be getting this at this time.

If you would like to start receiving the quarterly USA Philatelic Catalog, you can request it HERE.

Its also available online as a pdf.

Mr Gordon is correct about the "The Postal Service Guide to U.S. Stamps" having Scott catalogue numbers in them.  I had the 36th edition that I purchased online and since gave it away to a member here.
