Looking For Help With Nardinis, NFLD Cancel

Hi, I recently won an auction lot of NFLD with Dutch Country Auctions, and I'm working through the lot. I found the attached, and I've exhausted my options on this cancel.

Googling NARDINIS, I get nothing in NFLD, but I see that in Labrador that there is a Nardini Pond. Robert Coulson's "NFLD post offices" does not list a NARDINIS, and I can't find a Nardinis on any map of Newfoundland.

Has anyone seen this one before, and where is it from? Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help NSK!

Population of 19. Can't be a lot of these cancels out there. Any Newfoundland postal historians recognize this one, and has anyone ever seen one?

Thanks, Ray

Thanks--please share more.

Best resource for this IMHO is Newfoundland Specialized Stamp Catalogue which has like 20 pages of granular info on NFLD post offices. It indicates the following:

Nardinis, in St George. Population of 14 (allegedly), opened in 1904 and closed 1913. Two cancels have been seen : (A) Large Circle and (B) Box Cancel

Thanks for sharing, ray.mac. How did you get the black and white of the cancellation like that?

To be more precise about the location, Nardinis is (or was) approximately 4 or 5 km north of St. George.

DesertDweller,
There have been 2 programs discussed on SCF that will help to extract postmarks:

One was RetroReveal, which is no longer available.

The other was authored by one of our members, I believe, and can be found at TheStampWeb.com. Name of the application is ImageSleuth, and it's just a fabulous tool. Once you load in the image, it coughs up many, many different images of that stamp with different combinations of colors removed and added, and you can then pick the one (or many) that is/are your best solution(s).

Hope this is helpful, Ray

Thanks Tommy,

Appreciate the help!
