Although this isn't a flag cancel, is this what you're referring to as to the vertical bars?  This was described in a previous thread as a Universal Columbia 2-Bar Machine Cancel. |

Yes wt1 just like that and now that I see it I think that may be what I was thinking about. Was there flag cancels made like that? I think so but now I'm unsure? |

Each machine maker designed their own dies with a variety of different killers. I'm not sure who originated the wavy line killer but International used them by 1893 which pre-date the American Postal Machine flags. |

Russ, thank you so much. The two cancels do complement one another quite well. The card itself was redirected from Huntington In to Van Buren In. I learn at least one thing every day on this forum. I hope that I don't wear out my welcome. |

Minor correction. The Peru Indiana postmark reference above is from a Doremus cancelling machine, not a Columbia machine. |

I found this older thread and thought to post my only example. Boston, June 3, 1897, type B14 ... that's all I know.  |
