#117, fine, small faults, canceled by a superb SOTN

LONDON, England receiving mark. A wonderful example of this cancel.

#116, VF centering, cancelled by a VF+ strike of
stemmed leaf killer. According to research by a noted NYFM
cancel collector and recently documented in the May 2008 issue of
the U.S. Cancellation Club News, this is an unlisted NYFM fancy
killer (designated by the author as RE-LF5) used over a short
period in April-May of 1870. NYFM cancels on 1869 issues
are highly desirable. Stamp has two tiny corner perf creases at
top. A very attractive fancy cancel on 1869 issue. |

#150, F+, tied by an XF strike of NYFM killer, Weiss type
TR-M9, on unreduced cover to France, red NEW PAID YORK 6 DEC 12 (1872) postmark, ERU.
This is the most complete strike reported of this very scarce
killer (three listed in Weiss), redefining the nature of this killer.
The tracings in Weiss are of poor or incomplete strikes. What is
apparent from the strike on this cover is that this killer is
more ornate and symmetric than the Weiss tracings show.
The killer is clearly a rectangle with squared corners and with
sides turned inward. The rectangle has one minor and three
major vertical divisions, the one on the far right being the
widest. Obviously, this carving caused the killer to
deteriorate on the right side early. (Tracing, shows in dots
my estimation of missing segment.) A wonderful NYFM cover. |

#147 (2), fine, small faults, tied by two fine strikes of
very scarce NYFM "Bear Paw" killer (Weiss type TR-M4) on fine unreduced cover, small part of reverse missing.
This cancel is typically not well struck. Cover is postmarked
JUN 19, 1872. Six on-cover examples, not including this, recorded in Weiss. |

#135, VF+ jumbo stamp, XF strike of NYFM (Weiss TR-WU5A) and

cancellations on NYC circular mail. |
