1818 Bright Red York, Pa. Cancel

This is my most recent purchase for my York, PA cancels collection. It is not yet in my possession. I asked the seller about the brightness of the cancel. To verify the color, he added a Red Roof Inn card with basically the same bright red to the sales description. Irregardless of the cancel color, I bought it for the year and cancel type.





Another recent addition

I collect pennsylvania cancels as well but only from a few towns which are Jersey Shore, Lock Haven, Williamsport, Clear field & Curwensville Pa. I might have someYork PA. cancels and I will certainly look for you when I get back home. Although I did bring one of my Pa. covers Binders along so I'll post them if I can. I'm very happy to meet another pa. Cover & cancel collector. I hope to be friends too. - Jeff

Living about 10 miles from York myself, I have to ask.......being in Guatemala, what made you decide to collect York covers? John

John, I was born and raised in York. All of my immediate family is still there. I return to visit about every two years on the average.

Jeff, Other than Williamsport, the other 4 towns are relatively small, aren't they? As for my focus, to date, I only have York cancels. My dream is to find a decent early 1800s allegorical cancel. Unfortunately they are expensive. I do however, occasionally check for Manchester and Dover, PA cancels but have not yet purchased any.

Duley noted. I'll keep my eyes out for them for you.

Quig you seen this post on that stampless cover from "Bill-town" (Wmspt. Pa.)

No Jeff, I had not. Nice cover.

Folded letters with stamps are my favorite pieces.

Thank you stampcrow and Quigngt I thought you might like it. I thought I remembered you saying something about collecting YORK dials and and I know you know of Williamsport Pa. so I thought you might enjoy it. My computer is all messed up so hard for me to reply -Jeff
