I've never seen a perfin such as this and was wondering if anyone could identify it. Particularly interesting because it's applied to an E12 US Special Delivery stamp:
Thanks. Probably R&C or R&O, but I have no idea which one, nor what the +5 +1 means on the second line. A quick web search suggests that only R&C company that quickly comes up is a law firm, Robinson & Cole which has been around since 1845. I wonder if that could be it? The second line still doesn't make much sense though, unless it could be a branch identifier or something.
Quote: These are done after mailing usually in the recipient's mail office.
Done after mailing? So this would be some type of a received stamp? What would the point be of having perfins applied after a mailing went through the post office?
Having looked at the face of the stamp a bit closer, I also wonder where the killer portion of the duplex cancel may have been from (maybe a clue)? It seems to read "C.A."
