The first stamp is a telegraph stamp from the American Rapid Telegraph Company. Scott #1T12. The punched hole makes it a remainder of minimum value.
The second and third stamps are Playing Card revenues, Scott Type RF8. They look to be the dry printing Bureau precanceled on unwatermarked paper. There are 10 different Bureau precancels. You have two of them. Scott value is $3.25, but the condition is faulty on both, dropping the true value of the stamps to considerably less.
The last stamp is a Cinderella.
Thanks Michael!
There is a great story behind the last stamp. Google national one cent letter association. There are some varieties and on cover usages of that Cinderella.
Hi all! Can someone help me with these four so I can add them to my inventory. They don't seem to be in my catalogs. Working on sorting and adding to my excel spreadsheet inventory and want to add these.
Thank you in advance!
