Sidney F. Barrett (1892âÂÂ1958) of New York City, was a prominent stamp dealer who participated in various important philatelic ventures in New York City itself.
Because of his philatelic knowledge, he edited Scott's Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps for a number of years.
Barrett served philately in a number of ways: as president of the American Stamp Dealers Association, director of the Association for Stamp Exhibitions, secretary-treasurer of the 1913 International Philatelic Exhibition, and as a member of the Board of Governors of the Collectors Club of New York.
Barrett was named to the American Philatelic Society Hall of Fame in 1958.
