A Bogus Issue And Some Other Stamps

Is someone familiar with this local, or can tell me where I can obtain more informations about it?



I found an very old and wonderful book, "The United States locals and their history (1877)", scanned and free for download in PDF file on Archive. org ( http://www.archive.org/download/cu3...30134013.pdf ). It mentions this stamp, but with a very short description and without additional informations.

Can you provide a clearer picture?

I think this is what you are referring to, and if so, it is considered a bogus (fantasy) issue:



For more information, the above image was taken from this web site:

For those who can't read it, the bottom of the album page states:

Wt1,

congratulations and thank you so much! Your post is (as always) more very helpful for me.


Stamperdude,

I will make a high-quality scan later. I didn't want to do that before, because this is in album which is very fragile, but I am going to scan the entire album later, and I will add the scan on this thread later.

Since your question was answered by wt1, no need to disturb your album again for a scan at this time. Unless of course you want to. I thought the picture was with a camera and could be focused & a close up: a bit fuzzy. Interesting stamp.

I also wanted to make scans of some other pages from the album, so I took this opportunity to do that.

Here is higher resolution scan of the "C&W Bridge" stamp



If you would like also to see some other stamps from that album ("Lincoln"), I uploaded all them here:

If you are interested only in the US stamps from the album, there is only small amount of them, on just the couple of pages, I linked that few pages here:
