The U.S. local post stamps are commonly reprinted and forged. Larry Lyons 3-volume "The Identifier for Carriers, Locals, Fakes, Forgeries and Bogus Posts of the United States" is the reference for identifying these. Crosby's is listed in volume 1.

Cheers Don,

Interesting to read 1870 "Unperforated", perhaps "Imperforate" had not joined the jargon at that time.
