Here are a couple of fancy, on cover cancels I happened upon. See if you recognize them.

The first is the "I've got such a splitting headache" cancel.



The second is the famous "New York City negative pigeon poop" cancel.



As a heads up if you are interested, I should have both listed on ebay later this week.

Nice! Now all you need is the Lincoln Bulls Eye.

Negative pigeon poop looks about right. Tell me the "Lincoln Bulls Eye" is sick humor? Is it a real cancellation and does it have to be on a Lincoln stamp?

Sadly I can't, The "Lincoln Bulls Eye" is real!

It is a "Bulls Eye" cancel on a Lincoln stamp where the center of the Bulls Eye is on his head. I have seen a few of them over the years. They bring big $$ as a messed up curiosity.
