Precancel Cut Squares

Is there a means in which to identify precancel postal stationery/cut squares with diffrent city names identified? Some examples:

wt1, PSS has a catalog of precanceled envelopes on their site. Also this info
http://precancels.com/envelopes/envarticles.htm

Lots to collect!
Here are some examples on full covers of various sizes.



And another cut corner

Thanks for the info. Just curious, though: What's the difference between Sec. 562 and Sec. 435-1/2 as printed on your last example?

Here's link which may help some... I do not have a specific answer to your question either
and would appreciate a more thorough explanation also. I thought it went to local bureaus.

I did some checking and the Sec. 562 and Sec. 435-1/2 related to postal regulations for use of precancels that were in effect at the time the piece was mailed. I found that P.L. & R Section 435-1/2 was initiated on 05/29/1928 and was replaced by P.L. & R Section 562 in 1932 (and that Section was replaced with later regulations in 1948).

At least the dates of these regulations may be of help in establishing the approximate date use of the precancels shown.

I have a couple cut squares in my route 66 collection. I hadn't run across the Chicago or St Louis ones, yet. Very nice, I like the variety they bring to my collection.

Your collection Stamperdude? Maybe virtual? Those are in MY collection

What I meant was the precanceled embossed envelopes I already have.I guess I could start a virtual collection and copy yours.

there's no money to buy more stamps... I think I'm going for the virtual collection because it's cheaper, and I'm scanning everything I own. Now... let's see, I'll need a new computer and more ram, disk space better monitor, new scanner... Suppose a terabyte and a half will do? :) hehehe
