Dog's Head (Rohloff A-4), bold, perfect strike ties 1861 3c Rose (65) to cover to Saugatuck, "Waterbury Con Jan 9 '66" double circle datestamp alongside, docketing at left, extremely fine, the combination of the quality of the strike and cover almost certainly make this the most attractive example of this popular cancelation, Rohloff rarity "RRR" while the Crowe census records only seven covers, illustrated in Rohloff page 15, 2022 Philatelic Foundation certificate

The Waterbury "AJ" on tombstone fancy cancel was used only between March 26 and April 8, 1869. Postmaster John W. Hill created this marking to commemorate (perhaps celebrate?) the termination of Andrew Johnson's presidency, which ended March 4, 1869. After a battle regarding the attempted firing of Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, Johnson faced impeachment by Congress. Athough the House of Representatives approved the articles of impeachment, the Senate came one vote short of the necessary two-thirds majority to drive Johnson from office. Regardless, his presidency was seen as a failure by many, and his opposition of the 14th Amendment has marred his reputation to this day. (Image)

Eagle & Thunderbolts (Boston, MA), 2c Bureau tied by perfect strike of "Boston, Mass Jan 2 5-PM 1895" machine cancel with eagle and thunderbolts killer, cornercard for the National Shoe and Leather Exchange, addressed to Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania, extremely fine, a perfect example of the most celebrated machine cancel which Michael Laurence once called in Linn's the "Post Office Mauritius of U.S. machine cancellations"
On the afternoon of January 2, 1895, from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m., the eagle and thunderbolt was placed into service in Boston. Produced by the American Postal Machines Company, the stylized eagle and thunderbolt design was essentially an experiment to see whether the public would prefer that design or a waving American flag. The flag won handily, and only about 10,000 pieces of mail were ever cancelled with the eagle and thunderbolt. Only a few complete covers survive today. Articles about the cancel were written by George T. Turner (Bureau Specialist, April 1964) and Robert L. Markovits (Machine Cancel Forum, January 2002). (Image)
