Greetings From A Newfoundland Stamp Collector

Hello,

I am a somewhat seasoned collector who specializes in Newfoundland stamps with a particular interest in stamps with the ((235)) cancel.

I have 24 different stamps with the cancel and only need a few more to have at least one of each known example.

A cover with the cancel would be a most welcome addition to my collection.

Please reach out if the cancel piqued your interest as well and are interested in sharing, trading, selling!!

A relatively common example of the cancel....

Hello and welcome Newfoundland 235. That's a pretty focused collecting interest. I'll dig through some duplicates and see if I happen to have any 235's. What does the 235 signify if you don't mind me asking.

Hello and thanks for the welcome...

The ((235)) cancel is unique in that it was used in St. John's for a limited period of time (generally accepted to be between 1873 and 1888 but both earliest and latest dates of use are still disputed).

There are many similar cancels attributed to unique locations in the UK but no other numerical cancel like it was used on Newfoundland stamps (other than the A92 Cunard which is unique in its own right).
