I have been sharing my finds in the inherited forum as that is where these stamps are from, but this seemed a better place for these particular ones. They are all very common and none are that old, but still cool none the less and wanted to share. The last Lincoln is just dated and shot in the same frame, not a precancel.

The top pair is a box cancel and not a precancel. As well, the two bottom stamps are cancelled and not precancelled.

Those box cancels trip up most of us when we first start looking at precancels. You are not alone.

I made the same mistake when I first encountered these box cancels.
