Anyone care to help me identify this precancel? I assume it must be an L-Type as it doesn't seem to match any other known types for that city.



Thanks.

Okay wt1, take out the ruler!

If the spacing between the wording is 5mm, then it's L-2 TS (Value $2.00)
If the spacing between the wording is between 3.5 & 4.5mm, then it's L-3 E (Value 15 cents)

Thanks for the info. I checked and it has the 5mm spacing between the city and state, meaning that it's an L-2 TS (Value $2.00). Every now and then it's nice to uncover a precancel worth more than the standard 15 cents!
