I just received what I had hoped looked to be a pretty nice J26 on
ebay. Unfortunately once I soaked it off piece I found it's cancel has cut the stamp#$%@!
But... underneath the stamp is what looks like another cancel which says GISLAVED 5 7 1893
Googling GISLAVED I found out the Swedish tire manufacturer Gislaved was founded in 1893. But that couldn't be could it?! Maybe Gislaved was named after a town in Sweden?
No big deal I only paid $1.25 for the stamp including shipping, I'm intrigued more than anything. Anyone have any ideas?
