Is this a precancel? If so, I am unable to determine what type it is. Anyone know for sure? Does it also appear odd that the precancel is vertical rather than horizonal in its orientation for this issue?
Racine L6: Here is a taste of the great info that will be in the new Precancel Stamp Society Classics Catalog covering pre-1908 W/F issues - all known deominations will be priced. Items with [!] are mentioned in the literature, but... 'whereabouts currently unknown':
