 Leavitt Machine, "Boston, Mass. Jan 30, 82". Type X2B strike with serrated bar killer ties 1¢ gray blue (206) on unsealed D.L. Guernsey Publisher all-over illustrated advertising cover to East Bethel
Vt., "Royalton Vt. Jan 31" transit backstamp, original printed enclosure; some edge wear, Very Fine and attractive.

The position of the pins (one tears cover) confirm that a different machine was in use.
The markings are those of Group 3, a design with two groups of three pins, an arrangement previously reported in two machines used concurrently for about a month in Philadelphia and Baltimore. The downward tilt of the canceller suggest that that the
Baltimore machine was later used in Boston (see the X1A Baltimore use). (Image1)

 American Postal Machine Company, Boston, Mass, Apr 16, 1916. Stars in Field flag cancel ties 1¢ Wash-Frank on picture post card to Washington D.C.; accompanied by additional American Postal Machines
group of 11 Boston fantasy cancel, four on cover and seven on piece, Very Fine and interesting group, ex-Langford.

The "Stars in Field" flag was listed in the first edition of the Flag Cancel
Encyclopedia (p. 27), noted in the second edition as a collector made fantasy, then disappeared from the record. This is likely the only example. Unusual since other fantasy flags have been continually listed. There may be more to the story as this
was kept by Langford with his other prized rare flags. (Image1)
