Here's another date cancel that didn't make sense at first. The year is 8961? Pretty neat, but flip it and you get the correct year of 1968.  |

I thought the whole point was that Ms Austen was so straight-forward for her time. |

Here's a US Air Mail with the illusion of an extra propeller, due to ink smudges throughout.  |

Parttime........a "domestic" stamp that illustrates the globe. Now that's not only weird - but inappropriate. |

Well, this appeared in Punch about 30 years ago:  The text is rather small but reads "We like the plot, Miss Austen, but all this effing and blinding will have to go." |

My Avatar. The hand cancel is so clean that I had to look closer to see that it was actually done by hand. Here you can see it much more clearer than at it's actual size.  -IBFS |

Re upper stamp: My first thought was 'adding machine' but, on second glance, one supposes it is a teletype device. Cheers, /s/ ikeyPikey  |
