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

Okay. That didn't work. I will try again later.

I finally figured out how to post pictures...slow..aren't I?

Glad to see that you got it, rockinrobin!
That is a cork cancel.

New to the stamp world, not sure if this is a cancel but it looks cool anyway.

That is cool lenabobby! It is part of the cancel. I like US flags and have a few flag cancels on some stamps/covers.
Thanks for posting!

Nice stamp with a nice cancel !! Please keep showing pictures of your collection!

Here is a 10c Jefferson large banknote issue on an 1873 cover addressed to the Very Reverend Dr. Chatard,
Rector, American College, Rome, Italy.



It appears to have been mailed on April 17 from Springfield Mass, where the stamp was tied to the cover with
a split cork fancy cancel. Upon arrival in New York on April 18th, it received a red PAID ALL transit marking.



From the backstamps we can see that it passed through Verona, Italy on May 2nd.



Why it went through Verona is somewhat puzzling; perhaps the ship it was on docked at Venice
and the letter was sent overland through Verona to Rome. Finally it arrived in Rome on May 3rd
(3 Maggio 73).

This is what I call a fancy cancel.

You're absolutely right Mk

That's a wonderful cancel

here's a few from a box I was given by a friend to check out for him

Some more interesting ones.

Am assuming this is 19th century, though neither the postmark nor the receiving stamp give a year. I like the cancel. Hope it's fancy enough! I guess it would be a barred circle 11, or does it have a more accepted name?

All of you have some great fancy cancels! Some of my cancels are light, so I hope you can see them.

I just noticed I posted under my daughters name, I thought I had left my account up- sorry everyone.

Thanks to everyone for showing your covers with the great cancellation on them,It's good to sit back and ponder about the era they came from regards
