Need help with more precancel ID's that I believe are in the "L" category ... while the Pittston, PA one is a mimeograph, I understand there are four possible varieties:



...and a triple bar one from Corning, NY:

At the beginning of this post, I scanned a Pittston, PA mimeographed precancel that was identified as an L-1M. Since then I have just come upon another Pittston, PA mimeographed precancel that has a distinctly different look. Is this an L-2M?

Also scanned is a Butler, PA precancel that upon first glance looks similar to a Type 261, but the printing looks more typeset, leading me to believe it could instead be an L-type.



Any assistance in identifying these two examples would be appreciated.

Thanks.

the Butler is Type 261.

The Pittston is still a L-1 M, but more sharper. Looks like a cleaner ink cartridge was used.
