#137A, fine 6¢ National Banknote Company I
grill stamp,
this being a double
grill variety, not listed in the Scott specialized catalog.
Stamp canceled by SOTN blue quartered cork killer clearly displaying the
2 well impressed grills. Stamp has a 2023 PFC, 3mm tear at left into
grill, with the PF opining the stamp to be reperforated on both sides. I
tend to disagree with the assessment of the left side, but it was not
worth having the opinion reconsidered. Despite the condition, this is very
probably a unique example of this grill variety on
a very scarce stamp (Scott catalog $950 as normal). A
must have for the grill specialist. |

#184, five
copies,

(14mm), intermediate (13mm, Whitfield), and small (12mm). This
group of stamps are the basis for and pictured in the August 2021 U.S.
Cancellation Club NEWS article on this subject. |

#155, XF appearing 90¢ National Banknote stamp with an XF
strike of San Francisco foreign mail geometric killer.
Van Vlissingen & Waud listed this as unproved NYFM killer FU1. Stamp
with small corner crease at upper right and filled thin at upper left.
Still, a great
strike of this scarce fancy geometric cancel, especially on a 90¢ value. |

#156, a selection of 12
used plate varieties laid
out and annotated on grid paper by a collector who appreciated the "fly

#138, VF
copy,
fine NYFM star killer (Weiss ST-8P2), fresh and bright. Stamp has
tiny pressed out corner perf crease at lower right but is otherwise
sound. I believe that this stamp
is quite possibly a #138A with scarce I grill (Scott
catalog $1,400), but because the grill impression is not quite
complete it might be difficult to get it certified as such.
Pretty stamp. |
