Hi guys
This is not earth shattering, but first, I love the cancel of smoky the bear.

Robert

Question, how long did this cancel last from what year to what year..??



Are these circled areas normal for this card..??

Hi Robert,
http://stampsmarter.com/features/Fa...ernView.html
Go to 'search by keyword' and type 'smokey'

And just to stir the pot, his name is actually 'Smokey Bear' not 'Smokey The Bear'. They used artistic license in the song and added 'the' to make it sound better but his name is really 'Smokey Bear'.

All Stamp Smarter database searches use 'contains' as the search query. Because the cancel data were entered incorrectly with 'Smokey The Bear' a search on 'Smokey Bear' will not return anything; this is why I said in my first post to search on 'smokey'.

But you will find several Smokey cancels like yours ranging over a period of years.

The two spots circled are normal. That's the way they look in Scott, although the entry might be hard to see clearly. (UX48)
See scan below of two unused I have in an old stock book.

Don posted while I was distracted with scanning and I didn't see his before posting.
My apologies for redundancy.
