Tributes
In 1927, Alfred Lichtenstein signed the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists, the major British philatelic distinction.
In 1948, the American Philatelic Society added him to its Hall of Fame list of the most important deceased philatelists.
In 1952, the Collectors Club of New York created a philatelic award called the Alfred F. Lichtenstein Memorial Award. Theodore Steinway was the first person to receive this prize for his work in developing philately. In 1996, this club named Lichtenstein "the Outstanding American Philatelist" of the first half of the 20th Century.
