#UX5, VF, with XF
magenta HARMONY, OWEN CO., KY. JAN 24 1881 postmark (unlisted
in Doane-Thompson) and an exquisitely
detailed strike of magenta Roman soldiers profile killer (Whitfield
92). Provided with the card scan is a detailed scan of the actual image plus two
digitally enhanced scans (Postmark
Reveal)
revealing the killer's full detail.
In addition, a detail scan of the finest known example of this rare commercial
rubber killer (ex-Beane) struck in violet ink, a more readable ink color
apparently used for later examples. The offered item is the third
and ERU example of
which I am aware, all from same correspondence. |

Chicago design (Berg
SHT type). Numerous small Illinois post offices utilized the same blue ink as
Chicago during this period. A
terrifically eye-popping fancy killer.

#UX7, BOONVILLE,
IN APR 2 1884 postmark apparently
duplexed to an XF
hand-carved, almost ellipse-like grid with central time-of-day "7PM".
The card has two spindle holes which barely detract from this incredible
killer. Eight time-of-day killers besides this are known, not all cataloged. This
unique Boonville killer is newly discovered and first time offered.
