I was a little concerned as the listing pictures were fairly tiny, but there was enough potentially there to warrant a bit of a gamble. Not just some great cancels, but some better stamps as well. The majority of the ones that I feared might be cut cancelled appear not to be. Great eclectic mix.     |

The red handstamp on the customs cigarette stamp means that it is a Class B provisional on the Class A series of 1879. |

I don't have the Springer catalog with these (I assume they're Springer material) and I can't find it on Eric's website. Common? Scarce? |

Not super scarce, probably a $10-$15 item today. Nice condition though for a taxpaid. |

On the fourth page, is the 2 cents orange stamp on the right side with the blue/green looking paper a special variety?
There is a similar one on the first page at the top, but it looks like it has white paper. |

The one on the first page is R135 (grey paper) and the one on the fourth page is R151 (green paper). Both very common. |

The lumber cancel next to it is probably scarcer, although worth less money. |

Yep. Those 2 items are primarily the reason I bid on the lot. That lumber dealer cancel is a great strike of a large-format cancel. I've not seen it before. |

Neither have I, although that is really not all that surprising. After all, there are millions of cancels out there. |
