1924 US Flag Cancel

Recently I have been at my Mom's house helping her and I've come across some goodies. Here is one of them.





I think this postmark is absolutely beautiful!! Has anyone else seen on of these before?

By the way, in the couple of weeks it took to move my computer down to my Mom's house so I could post I was so irritable I'm surprised my Mom & Husband didn't drive me out into the middle of nowhere and leave me for dead. I can't wait to show everyone all of the goodies I've found!!

Beautiful cancel. Thanks for sharing!

I think there is a thread on here that has a few of those type of cancel on it.

There are lots of different ones too I think.

Canada had flag cancels also at the turn of the century.

When I do a search on ebay under stamps for 'flag cancel' it returns 390 US, 40 Canada and 15 others (not searching worldwide, just within the US and Canada)

Hi Lucky

That is a nice cancellation.

I have a small collection of them. Most of mine are Canadian but have US ones as well. If I am not mistaken, it is an "International" Machine cancellation. There are some collectors that specialize in this type of cancellation.

Hi Lucky........

A lot of collectors like these.......many are fairly scarce still on cover.

I have a couple Wavy Flag cancels, they are machine cancels and occasionally have slogans in them like Tom showed above.

Wow, thanks for posting that information nr-notrare,
marvelous
