Nice 11a with Worcester fancy negative
Simpson pge 138, #150 rarity 6

roughly opened cover with straight line northevans NY and fancy cancel on #26

Simpson page 32 #147 rarity 8

Worcester is a good one. Yours is a good strike.
I like your straightline as well.

Sorry for the swifted image, it moved under the scanner and is al ready stored again.

a #10, I think 10R1i, with an interesting 3 bar grid cancel.

closest I can find is skinner SD-G-60 but it is not a real match.

anyone seen this cancel before and knows were it is from?

Tx, super cool on the 3 1centers

you have some great material

The small Boston Paid in Red - on a bottom row Plate 1-early 1c stamp (#7).
This killer is only known used from July 7, 1851 - Aug 1, 1851.

You can find 3c stamps with this, however, for the 1c stamp, I am only aware of:
- 3 covers with 1c stamps with this killer in red
- 3 off-cover 1c stamps, including this one, with this in red

Tx, pretty one. and again I learned something, THANK YOU

i will try to scan some more over next few days

nice 10A (20R2e) with a son 3 paid from montville maine

#11 with a fancy Worcester mass cancel

Nice fancy on Edinburgh NY cover.

i cannot find this one in any of my books

last but not least

negative Chelsea Mass, on #11 (has a PF cert)

Those are all very neat killers.
The Chelsea is quite cool and a very uncommon style.

Plainfield, MS - a tiny 1859-dated CDS.

The 3c stamp is Ty III (#26).

I love these last few 3¢ stamps - those are exactly the kind of stamps/covers I try to add to my collection. @Txstamp, Id be tempted to soak that stamp off the cover since the cover does not appear to be very remarkable - all the interest is in the cancellation which is not tied. That is probably sacrilegious to some.

I enjoy postal history collecting very much.

I also collect cancellations, postal markings and stamps/varieties, but I prefer to get full covers (when I can), as it gives me the whole story, so to speak. Some correspondences are worthwhile, some other things you can't figure out without the whole cover.

I believe in the early years of carrier+local collecting, a lot of those stamps - many not cancelled or tied, were removed from covers - but were valid usages; many no doubt were interesting & are now destroyed.

I like off-cover stamps with nice cancels as well, but I haven't removed a stamp from a cover in decades.
