New York Foreign Mail (NYFM) Cancellations (#2)

Item # Description Price Picture

4022 #161, fine, sound, bearing a VF-XF SOTN strike of NYFM fancy geometric killer, Weiss type GE-EN2. Pretty. $50
3980 #150, fine, sound, tied by VF detailed strike of rare NYFM fancy geometric killer GE-S7 (tracing and enlarged stamp detail) on fine intact small cover to France. Cover is postmarked JUN 26, 1872, making this a new and unique ERU by one day for this killer. All cover markings are VF.  For accuracy, there is a small stain along the top edge.  A wonderful and highly exhibitable example of this very scarce NYFM killer.
