Can anybody share good scans of precancels on the stamps that commemorated the 1932 Winter (Lake Placid) and Summer (Los Angeles) Olympics (Sc 716, 718 and 719)?

Currently, I am working on a catalogue of Olympic related stamps, volume 5 (North America) and will need them for my catalogue (that is not aimed for commercial distribution, 2 volumes - Australia/Oceania and Europe - are available for free downloading in the Internet).

Unfortunately, I've failed to find any pictures of ecent quality in the netwok

Do you mean cancels like on the covers commemorating the event? I don't know if there were any precancels for the same purpose, but I could be wrong. I looked through my meager collection and could only find First Day Covers, no precancels from me, sorry.

Precancels do exist for these issues, Hipstamp and ebay have had a number of these sold. Whether the pictures' resolution is good enough for the OP's purposes, I can't say.

Precancels on the 2 cent and 3 cent are elusive. Here are some found with a quick look. Use them as you wish. The precancel society type numbers are in the file names if you right-click and save them.

Thanks much, guys, especially to John Becker

These scans will be enough for the purposes of my catalogue (I am not going to describe precancels in details, it will require a catalogue of itself)
