#186, fine, sound, bearing an XF
SOTN strike of GLOBE ARIZONA [territory] Gila Co. W. E. SPENCE JUN 2
1882 county name/postmaster postmark (Doane-Thompson
56). Quite eye catching. |

strike PAID killer. |

#208a, F+, fresh copy, small thin, canceled by an XF
SOTN strike of dateless "REGISTERED NEW YORK N. Y." postmark.
The postmark on this stamp creates exceptional
eye appeal,
with Lincoln portrait surrounded by the cancel. Scarce
color variety. |

#212, fine, sound, no gum, bearing a BURLINGTON
VT straight double line precancel reading down and lightly
double-impressed to the right.
This precancel is normally seen reading upward. Scarce item. |

#137A, fine 6¢ National Banknote Company I
grill stamp,
this being a double
grill variety, not listed in the Scott specialized catalog.
Stamp canceled by SOTN blue quartered cork killer clearly displaying the
2 well impressed grills. Stamp has a 2023 PFC, 3mm tear at left into
grill, with the PF opining the stamp to be reperforated on both sides. I
tend to disagree with the assessment of the left side, but it was not
worth having the opinion reconsidered. Despite the condition, this is very
probably a unique example of this grill variety on
a very scarce stamp (Scott catalog $950 as normal). A
must have for the grill specialist. |

#153, VF
sound stamp with great color and large margins,
seldom found this nice. 2023 PFC, PF
graded VF 80.
Personally believe that this is a rare #142 grill (which is how it was
submitted to the PF), but the PF didn't agree. Comes with my grill
analysis. Scott catalog $210. |

#158, fine, sound, bearing a superb,
complete strike of solid blue shield with negative "76" centennial year
date killer of Allenton, AL (Whitfield

cancel. |
$100 |

and fresh pair bearing

attractive. |

#184, five
copies,
each bearing a strike of a negative
"7" within a 13 point sunburst killer of Mitteneague, MA.
All are of the Whitfield 6449 design, but with three different 7s: large
(14mm), intermediate (13mm, Whitfield), and small (12mm). This
group of stamps are the basis for and pictured in the August 2021 U.S.
Cancellation Club NEWS article on this subject. |

#186, F+ sound
pair,

exceptionally attractive item. |

#155, XF appearing 90¢ National Banknote stamp with an XF
strike of San Francisco foreign mail geometric killer.
Van Vlissingen & Waud listed this as unproved NYFM killer FU1. Stamp
with small corner crease at upper right and filled thin at upper left.
Still, a great
strike of this scarce fancy geometric cancel, especially on a 90¢ value. |
SOLD |

#149, F+, SE, sound, canceled by a SOTN
strike of English numeral 626 ellipse killer (GBPS:
Prescot, Lancashire County), quite

#156, a selection of 12
used plate varieties laid
out and annotated on grid paper by a collector who appreciated the "fly
speck" aspect of stamp production. The
"lower label" varieties are particularly nice. |

#210, fine, sound, bearing a VF-XF
SOTN strike of smiling pumpkin face killer,
town of origin unknown, similar to several listed face fancy cancels. |

#138, VF
copy,
fine NYFM star killer (Weiss ST-8P2), fresh and bright. Stamp has
tiny pressed out corner perf crease at lower right but is otherwise
sound. I believe that this stamp
is quite possibly a #138A with scarce I grill (Scott
catalog $1,400), but because the grill impression is not quite
complete it might be difficult to get it certified as such.
Pretty stamp. |
