Can anyone tell me what type of stamps these are and possibly identify the cancels?.Cant seem to find them although I did locate a Dr Spayds Pharmacy in Wiles Barre,Pa.Dont know if any connection though. Also can anyone tell me something about this fast lake stamp. I've read that the orientation of the ship can vary from stamp to stamp increasing its value. does anyone know if this one in the normal position? Thanks in advance for any help.
First two are Inter revenue stamps, quiet common ones Last one Scott#294 looks in normal position, ship and inside design looks in frame, stamp it self looks in poor state, thins folds and missing perfs. From stamp to stamp center design shifts up or down left or right.
The top two are what's known as "Battleship Revenues" from 1898. They was used to show tax payment upon receipt of a service. 1st row 2 are #R164 , 2nd row is RB21a & RB22
The Middle one is a Postal Seal. It was used by postal clerks to repair damaged mail so it could finish it's journey to it's destination.
