Got Any 19th Century Fancy Cancels On US Stamps Or Covers?

Cimmaron...I think I have a few cut squares. I will
look, and send you them ,this weekend.

The other kind of Boston PAID cancel, on #63 and #65(??)





There is an erased #64 notation under the right stamp and this pencilled note on the back of the cover:



$19 in 1944? I paid $22 for it 64 years later.

Sept. 24, 1872, Ludlow Vt. to Wheelersburg Ohio

Looks like Lady's mail, with contents.





I think a nice find in the buck a cover box.

Very nice find! It's great to have a fancy cancel and a clear town postmark with year included.
It says answered on April 6, 1873 - six months to write a reply, that is as bad as me.

Nice star in circle on a small mourning cover mailed from McSparran, Pennsylvania in 1889.

anything interesting in the letter?

Tom.. It appears to be a thank you note between an Aunt and her niece.

It seems that the nieces mother passed away, and she sent the Aunt some of her mothers keepsakes. [ trying to figure if it was the Aunts sister, or her husbands sister ]

She is telling the young girl to be strong, [ must have been an untimely death ] and that she is always welcome to stay at the Aunts.

The Aunt makes references, on how she coped with her husbands death,
She says " Your Uncle " so I guess the husband was the blood relation.

She makes reference, three times about her rheumatism, and how she is dealing with it.

Here is a very small cover. I have no idea what was sent there was no letter. The Baltimore cancel and target cancel are both a nice green.

nice cover!

"W" fancy cancel on a registered cover sent from Whitinsville to Westborough, Massachusetts.

As soon as I can my internet straightened out I have and old US with an Ironcross cancelation. Hopefully will be able to have it posted soon.

Wow nt-notrare, those are beautiful covers and stamps you've got there.

ok guys and gals I finally got everything fixed with my connection and my scanner so here is what I promised you. To the best of my knowledge this is an 1883 Scott #210 2 cent red brown, Washington, with a light Iron Cross cancel on it. This at this point in time is my finest fancy cancel. If anyone has any info about the cancel I am all ears.

Nice cancel, Cim! Thanks for posting it.

This 1886 cover came to me in a lot of eight covers. It has the same 2c red brown Washington with a carved
negative "A" cancel, which presumably stood for Auburn, Maine where it was posted.





The address is simply W. F. Godfry, Lewiston, Maine. The Lewiston post office crossed out the address and applied
a purple finger (with incompletely struck text that looks like "Returned to Writer") and a straightline advisory
"Have your Letters addressed to Street & Number to avoid delay."

Is this a cork cancel?
