I couldn't resist these covers out of a dealer box. They sold for just 50 cents apiece.

Granted, the cancels are done for philatelic reasons, but, I thought they were great strikes.

Bujutsu - those are really nice covers. I think they are a great illustration that a great cover does not have to have a cachet, but that a nice crisp cancellation can also make for a great cover. Thanks for sharing them!

I agree with ncbuckeye -- those are nice covers.

Given the thread's subject, I'd like to share my entire Philippine cover collection.

I love Philippine covers!

Here are a few more 1949 slogan cancellations:

I am amazed at the variety of cachets produced for Philippine issues of the 1950s and 1960s:

Nice covers.

I don't really collect the Philippines per se but was pleased with the sharp and clear cancellations on the ones I scanned.

The FDC cancels are quite clear as well on your postings.
