Can anyone confirm that this is a fancy crown cancel? I don't have Lacelle's book (yet) - perhaps it is listed in there? Chris  |

Hi John, thanks. I don't believe these are registered "R" cancels - are unlike any others, and the dots inside the cancel seem strange. Chris |

Question : If an "R" why the point in the top right corner of the left stamp. It looks to be a point in the centre of a crown. |

fancy crown cancel? To assist us, whom want to learn, what does a "Fancy Crown" Pmk look like? May we see an image please. 2. I have no record in my collection of an Registration "R" that is not enclosed in a circle. Anyone have an "R" without a circle image please? Can be nothing like the Ottawa https://www.stanleygibbons.com/coll...ancy-cancels |

Hello Rod222. The size and shape of the crown seemed to resemble the fancy cancels I have seen in the BNAPS study group. Dave Lacelle has listed hundreds of fancies (you likely already know this). I do not have an image, the premise I am proposing is that there may be a fancy cork of this type.
I still don't believe this is a registration R.

Thanks Chris, we shall await your catalogue, hope you resolve. I had a bo-peep in Lacelle, and a cursory glance showed nothing. (Unsure if my Lacelle is complete) Here is a few images Note: Lacelle shows an error in "oval" R registration, that is a really a circle.  |

John Becker is correct, one of the larger Registered "R"'s without surrounding oval. One often sees extra ink between the lower legs of the R. |

Fascinating - thanks for the advice, everyone.
This seems to be an R (registered) cancel. Does anyone have a literature reference, catalogue number?

Hi Robert - is the number under the image you provide the Lacelle number? Chris |

I believe so Lars714.
You might want to contact BNAPS to see what they say.
Just an idea.
