I've been trying to label some unknown perfins in my collection, including these two, both of which are precancelled New York, NY on 1930s-era definitive stamps:



Any help in identifying these perfins will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks. That makes perfect sense. I wonder if TCS might be another perfin variant from the same firm?

Thomas Cook & Sons had offices worldwide. Apparently, they are a descendant to Captain James Cook.

wt1: Yes they are both Thomas Cook & Son perfin patterns.

TC/S is perfin pattern T25 and was used wirth 3 different New York, NY Precancel patterns.

TC/&S is perfin pattern T28 and was used with 5 different New York, NY precancel patterns.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I found this ad on the internet that shows Thomas Cook & Son Travel Services from New York City during the 1920s (just a bit before the time of the perfin stamps posted earlier.)

I like the way you made your topic title, very searchable. I am starting to put together my perfins at this time as well. I am finding some air mail and commem perfins which are quite neat.
