Too many precancels so I think I will make a small collection of precancel oddities. I will start out with a few pix. Anyone have any to show?

This first one is a Pomona Calif precancel but the word pomona on the right handed stamp is spelled Pomoma.

Stampaddict,
That Pomona, CA is type L-1. Spelling error noted. What you have is the desired way to display those varitions, se-tent.

The Northampton, MA, shown is not recognized as a standard precancel.
All versions of this without the lines above & below the city & state
are all in upper case lettering not lower case as is here.
It could be what is often referred to as a "Pseudo" precancel or "Provisional"
precancel.

These are precancels that were used provisionally by local PM when there was a shortage of proper precancels. These used a traditional canceling device, in part or entire, so unless found unused it appears just like a normal cancel from that PO.

The Saint Columbans is spelled correctly simply an issue of poor inking on the letter "N".

The Hillsboro, example is likely another "Psuedo", but would we need to determine
what state it came from.

Tulsa, OK, is a DLE and inverted maybe as much as half the released issues.
There is no difference in value.

WAIT, NEWBIE dumb question:

so a PRECANCEL is the sending post-office canceling it? as apposed to what, I thought they all got canceled when sent
OR
is it a stamp mark on it when sold to you, with the name of that post office prior to sending?

I'm confused.
