Bullseye And Socked On Nose Cancels

Although these are common stamps, I like the centering on these postmarks. Clear town and date.

My first Photobucket image:

and one more ... I have a large collection of these.

May I ask how you determined that the one cent Washington Head Stamp dated 1919 was Scott Number 374?

Perhaps (correct me if I'm incorrect) you don't collect U.S.A. stamps and not interested in the different designs of the Washington/Franklin Head Stamps.

Your identification as 374, belongs to a Franklin Head One Cent Stamp issued in the 1910-1911 times frame.

The stamp in question is a Washington Head One Cent Stamp.

The 374 in Scott Catalog Illus. number A138 (basic design), the Washington One Cent Illus. number is A140.

Of course there are other design elements that are quite different between the two stamps.

So how did you determine this stamp to be 374? What led you to believe it was a 374.

Do not interpret any of this as an offense, just curious how one's thoughts process led them so far off course.

Some of my favorites.

From Romania a neat Iasi Mandate cancel.

Here's a worn out ole beauty.

Bold image. Bold strike. Love it.
The New-York almost matches the curve of the medallion.

Not a great pic. The color shift you see in the lower right area, is shadow from the lighting I used.

Another date cancel - one not seen often.

Sweet ^^

Hobsun

I don't believe I have showed this one on SCF.






This is a Mailometer type V perforation. Only known to have been used for a brief 2 week period in 1911 and until I found this example only known used in Detroit.

At that time there were a few companies in Cincinnati that had Schermack Mailing Machines and in all probability had to purchase their coils from the Detroit office.
