#163, faulty, bearing a superb SOTN strike of large
star within star within star killer (Cole STU-3/5). This killer
is typically found only on departmental officials, this being
only the second reported example on regular postage, the
other on a 10c Continental. At top there is a partial capture
of the rim of a green postmark, but its authenticity is
questionable. A great reference item for the specialist. |

#213, F+, corner crease at UR, bearing SOTN purple
boxed "FOR IMMEDIATE ACCEPTANCE ONLY" contractual offer term.

unusual. |

#178, VF-XF, large margins, canceled by an XF
strike of boxed hatchet/tomahawk killer (S-E PO-Wt 1 [see
scan], Whitfield 1077). Stamp also shows a partial strike of
blue postmark, possibly a French receiving stamp. This fancy
killer is reported on 1861-67 issues. Nevertheless, I believe
this strike to be genuine. The killer shows no evidence of
bleeding. Moreover, the top left edge of the black cancel
appears on the back of perfs at the top left where the edge folded
over when the killer was struck. A great fancy cancel.

#183, VF, sound, canceled by a fancy negative
killer with central starburst. The letters appear to show BOSTON,
MASS. Boston used several large negative killers on packages and
third class mail, but I have not seen this one. |
