The Bernard Faust Collection of U.S. 1863-68 Black Jack Issues continued...

Fancy Cancels: New York City
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1272 c Image2c Black (73). Vertical pair, tied by two perfect strikes of Dancing Man fancy cancel, matching "New-York City Jul. 27" circular datestamp on locally addressed cover, barely reduced at right

EXTREMELY FINE STRIKES OF THIS RARE FANCY CANCEL. THE DANCING MAN FANCY CANCEL IS PROBABLY THE RAREST OF ALL NEW YORK CITY FANCY CANCELS. THIS MAY WELL BE UNIQUE ON THE BLACK JACK STAMP.

The details of the design, which are especially clear on the bottom stamp, are remarkable. The dancing man's fingers are perfectly clear, as are his eyes and top hat. His top coat is swinging behind him. On the bottom stamp, Jackson's eye looks out from the middle of the dancing man's chest. All of these elements combine to create a visually arresting fancy cancel and cover.

Ex Sheriff and offered to the market for the first time since 1985. (Image)

1279   Image2c Black (73). Cancelled by well-struck Union Soldier's Head fancy cancel of New York City (Skinner-Eno PH-F 72), thinned and slightly toned, a few short perfs, Very Fine strike of this distinctive fancy cancel and extremely rare on a Black Jack stamp, the creation and use of this fancy cancel in the Spring of 1866 coincided with the return of soldiers from the Civil War, it is known on at least one domestic cover, but apparently the cancelling device migrated to the foreign-mail exchange office, where it was used to cancel stamps on mail to foreign countries, as such it is most often found on 24c and 30c 1861 Issues, this is the only example we have encountered on a Black Jack, ex Faiman (Image)
