Wondering if someone can help me verify what I'm looking at with this on pc pair. London ontario cancel with what looks to me like a NOV 31 1870 date but I'm not 100% sure. The numeral 6 killer is probably a good hint but I am not firmiliar with dating those. If correct that should put the pair in the early ottawa printings.

This is an early London Duplex Cancel.

I checked the Postal History Society of Canada database (accessible with a membership - not expensive if you are interested in cancels and postal history)

This is the info:

ERD-1870-03-23 LRD-1875-01-30 (AM, PM, BLANK) 6 in 8 horizontal killer bars

As you can see, the cancel was short-lived (1870 - 1875), and so your 1870 date is probably correct (and it is an Early Ottawa printing in that case).

Nice item.

Thank you for the great details. Would be nicer if on a full cover but with all the 3c small queens I have and as crazy as the colors can get , Its nice to be able to have a solid ID .
I' would appreciate the details about the postal history society membership. There must be a wealth of information contained there.

Nitro, It must be November 21 as November only has 30 days. Nice early cancel.
