I go through a lot of France stamps and stash anything unusual and I thought I'd show some starting with my 2 favorites.

I found this in the Rumsey box and I don't have any idea what it is. I've searched Maury but couldn't find anything similar. To compound the mystery the stamp is MNH with full OG;




The 2nd stamp I presume is some sort of private perf but other than that I have no idea.


Any thoughts on either of these would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken

I have bars on La Sameuse, both as killer part of CDS (Right hand side) and as part of an unknown slogan cancel.

Having gum, I have no idea.

Gentle suggestion,
it cannot be MNH, mint is how it would have left the printer, "used with full gum" may be a more appropriate phrase ? (include "disturbed" if noted)

Fabulous, thanks Geoff.
I knew I had seen something similar before but could not place it.

Saved in my Perforations folder.

Sorry for the extremely late reply to this. I just registered on the site and am enjoying wading through older France-related posts :)

Regarding the 80c Semeuse with the bar cancellation and OG, it is actually the hexagonal "cancellation" used (aka "Annule") to mark stamps for destruction.
