Show Us Your US Revenue SOTN/Bullseye Cancels!

Well I'm really a newb but I have a couple of items that I really enjoy admiring.






These are 2 of my favorites that I bid fairly aggressively for me being new but I liked the cancels quite a bit, I don't think they are true part perfs maybe eventually I'll send them off to see.




This block I got a couple of weeks ago and again I bid a little aggressive but I really enjoy the block with multiple cancels. When it finally arrived and I was inspecting it I noticed something looked a little strange with the top 2 stamps, it is more obvious on the right one, I put a picture below.


To me it looks like a double transfer, but I'm new and can't tell for sure.

I really enjoyed reading and seeing all of the wonderful cancels and will share any more I get my hands on.

It does look like a DT, but a better scan is needed to be sure.

Evening revcollector and everyone else, here is a better close up of the areas, I was able to scan it in tonight.

First is the top right:


And the top left where it looks like there is a very minor transfer to the I and the L


Again here is a better scan of the block overall:


Let me know what your great minds think, I am always ready to learn something new.

Received in the same lot with the R112b...
Neptune Insurance; marine insurance

Here are a couple from a $5 ebay lot that came in today. First is a beautiful strike for Novelty Plaster Works.



Here's three R228 with a Parcel Post usage. Ross, CA, not far from where I used to live.

At one time there was a tax on parcel post. Pity the wrapper is not complete.

Interesting. I was wondering about that.

For the most part, I haven't ventured outside the first issue when looking for cancels. These two, especially the Novelty Plaster Works, may inspire me to change that. Nice stuff, southpaw.

I have the Novelty Plaster Works cancel as well; with some searching you should be able to find one.

Heh. Welcome to the machine. Lots of typeset cancels and ornate/fancy handstamp cancels on the RBs. Be forewarned, they can get QUITE expensive if you're buying from Eric/Richard/etc.

I've noticed. That's one of the reasons I haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet.

"Come to the dark side. We have cookies!"

I have to say. The second issue RBs are my favorites. Elegant simplicity of the design, colors, number of cancels.

Just watch for fake roulettes.

The warning about fake roulettes should be taken very seriously. I did an informal survey of ebay listings of the roulettes last year leading up to APS Summer Seminar. I found about ¾ of the listed roulettes were fake, that is, philatelic forgeries. If you wish to have examples insist of certs or buy from Eric Jackson or Richard Friedberg.
