You Just Never Know What You Will Find

Some months ago, I picked up a mix of R15C's, a cheap mix, thought I saw some nice cancels in the mix. Upon receiving the mix, also discovered a real nice sound R14C, with partial cancel.

The stamp in question has just come out of my extensive Work in Process (WIP).

Interesting cancel, too late at night to research this cancel.

Sound, perfs. in tact, a rather right and proper nice stamp find.

It's well-centered too. I agree that it's a very nice find in a mix of R15c's. I believe the cancel is for J. Gurney & Son, photographers.

I also found this in Google images, which verifies the name and address:

Well known PROOF CARD cancel. Here are the relavent pages from Bruce Baryla's exhibit on them:

Complete info -- nice. Thanks, Dan.

rustyc and revencollector, hope this doesn't mean I have to add you both to my payroll, already too many people working for me!

But excellent research, I was planning on doing my own research this morning, but then mother nature got in the way, the wild donkeys are at it again, they just love my watermelon patch.

Again, thanks!

Cool history on the cancel, alot of times the history is more exciting than the stamp
