re: Japan cancels

This is a roller cancel.

As far as I know, a roller cancel represents legitimate postal use, as opposed to those wavy-line cancels, which, as I understand it, indicates a remainder cancel.

That said, I'm not as current on these things as I used to be. I can ask someone who would know better than I whether or not these more recent roller cancels are actually a type of remainder cancel.

re: Japan cancels

From a colleague of mine in the study group I mentioned, here's an example of that roller cancel applied to a group of stamps. It helps give an idea of what the cancel actually looks like.

Dave,

Thank you for that last post - I was trying to figure out what an entire cancel would look like!

re: Japan cancels

This is my type of thread.

It is great to learn "stuff" that is not about rare, high value stamps you can never own, but about everyday matters which intrigue and stimulate.

I am a bit of a magpie and am interested it almost everything which can exercise my mind.My wife despairs at the apparently useless( to her !) information I accumulate.

just confirming what's already been reported: roller cancel, common on most Japanese large packages. I don't recall seeing these roller cancels on covers from any other country

OK... how would you classify this one?! Does this suggest rollers also used as remainders?

re: Japan cancels

They are valued lower than "normal" postal cancels, but have also served a postal purpose. The stamps were used to pay the postal fees, but weren't stuck to the pieces of mail (the just got a "postage paid" mark), but for accounting purposes to separate sheets of paper, and were cancelled with these rollers. Often whole sheets of stamps were cancelled in this way. Not very useful if you just send a single letter, but convenient for mass mailings and the like.
