Hello

Is there anyone to help about that stamp? Bogus/Genuine? Value?
I also placed a diagram from:
THE PHILATELIST
The American Local and Carriers' Stamps-XXV
A Study of the Forgeries, Reprints and Bogus Stamps
By DONALDS. PATTON

Thanks

Bogus but collectable, the stamps normally bring $3 to $5 each

Previous sales I saw for Winan's City Post don't allign with that. It seems they have quite a bit of value and desirability. Current listings are all around $400-600 in lots, and a single has a bid war at $60 right now.

Not sure what previous sales you are looking at. Asking prices on ebay are often dramatically overpriced. I just looked at completed sales on ebay and see a total of 4 actual sales - $3.25, $2.25, $3.25 for 3 stamps ($1.08 each), and a lot of 20 fakes and forgeries that brought $81 ( $4.05 each).
