Washington 220 Cancellations

I have this sick addiction to the 1890 Washington Scott 220 two cent stamp and its variations. I have accumulated about 3500 copies. Don't ask. But I am trying to put together a few nice pages of the variations so I thought I would share some of my work pages. Far from a finished product. Back to my padded room.

Below (cancels and fancies - love the bow tie!)








Below, some alpha cancels.

Below, how about some numbers!

Thanks for the way to perhaps deal with some of mine... appreciate you sharing. Nice pictures too.

Scouter,

Love the cancels! I'm sure you have but, did you put together a grouping of the single left cap only and double caps of the 220? That would be a neat sub-category, for sure. I only have a couple of each. They aren't that scarce but can be a pain to find. I don't think there are any single right cap only. Though, I have seen one claiming to be one.

Scouter, I collect the same variations mostly on cover but I also save the better cancelled singles on stockpages..glad to meet a kindred spirit !

Not a sick addiction,
a slick addiction,
I think your collection is rather super.

Russ,

Thanks, its good to know that there may be others out there.
Today, I woke up so its a great day. It's even better when I learn something new.

philb, that is an awesome address! I wonder if the person always wrote like that--might make reading a letter from them difficult, haha

i thank you, but now I feel compelled to show you this one..the calligraphy

on the enclosed letter is awesome !!

Wow! Phil those covers are astounding!

Scouter, thank you for starting this exciting, informative, artistic and conformation that I, like artlaunier, am not the only accumulator/collector of 220 stamps! (I had "nut" where "accumulator" is, but I was worried I might unintentionally offend Art!)

Heck, I thought that I had a lot at 457! Most of which I still have to go thru.

My favorite stamp of yours is on the top row, 5th from the left with the double star cancellation!
