 Imperial Mail Marking Machine Co., "Boston, Mass., Jul 9, 1896". Type D-53 Involute flag with "C", bold complete strike on 2¢ green entire to Boston Mass., Very Fine and choice.
Estimate;
$1,000 - 1,500.
THE FIRST OF USE OF AN INVOLUTE FLAG MACHINE CANCEL.
The involute flag with "96" year-date is pared with American's Type D dial with "1896", producing a double-dated error. It was in use only July 9 to July
14, 1896, when the Imperial dial was installed.
The Boston involutes were produced from just two flag dies: one with a spread field and another with an ovate field. The pairing of these two dies with four different dials produced for
Imperial machines and Type B and D dials produced for American machines resulted in sixteen recognized varieties, in use from as little as a week to as much as two years. (Image1)

machine met substantial need, since the availability of postal cards in sheets increased their commercial use. A test of the machine was made on February 2, 1876 without the killer as it had not been received at the time of the test. (Image1)
