(NOTE: All stamp images are thumbnails, click to view enlarged image.)

Item # Description Price Picture
4789 #24, F-VF, sound, canceled by a VF strike of bright red multibar New York City foreign mail killer with partial strike of boxed red transit routing mark. Very pretty stamp. $50
4673 #17, VF+, fresh, crisp impression, sound, with partial black SAN FRANCISCO postmark. Stamp has clear, ample margins all around, with the top right just bending in. 1998 PFC, "It is genuine."  Pretty stamp. $400
4399 #24, F-VF+, sound stamp, bearing an XF SOTN strike of numeral 5 in circle (Skinner-Eno NS-E 29, Dayton, OH). Probable late use of obsolete rate mark used as a killer.  Scarce and very eye catching.  (HCS) $150
4400 #35, F-VF right margin stamp, sound, tied on piece by an XF strike of scarce New York ocean mail postmark with interior small grid killer. Nice.  (HCS) $100
4149 #26, fine, canceled MAR 23, 1858. I believe this to be the scarce PLUM color variety, not an oxidized red. Stamp has a mild horizontal bend.

SOLD

4033 #11a, fine, sound, canceled by a perfect SOTN strike of brilliant red 7 bars in circle killer. An exceptionally eye catching cancellation.

SOLD

4034 #26, fine, sound, canceled by an XF strike of a small fancy hand-carved grid of diamonds in circle killer, Unlisted in major references. $40
3894 #11, fine top margin copy with large selvage, plated 2R4, bearing a VF+ SOTN strike of a blue WAY in circle marking, a spectacular item. Nice color, stamp is in slightly at left, has a tiny selvage tear and a pressed crease along the left margin.  A very showy stamp.

SOLD

3843 #26, VF strip of three, plus #24, F-VF, all stamps sound, canceled by four strikes of arched PAID 3 rate mark killer. Cancels applied at South Royalton, VT on cover to Canada (image of original cover from which piece removed). Attractive multiple. $75
3856 #25, VF, fresh and sound, light postmark, extremely scarce in such prime condition.

SOLD
