Fancy Cancels: Other Towns
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1319 c Image2c Black (73). Choice centering, crisp impression, tied by clear strike of Devil & Pitchfork fancy cancel, matching "West Meriden Conn. Aug. 1" (1866) circular datestamp on U.S. Internal Revenue imprint cover to Wallingford Conn., cover with small tear at top left, trivial mended cover erosion spot below stamp

EXTREMELY FINE. A MAGNIFICENT STRIKE OF THE FAMOUS WEST MERIDEN, CONNECTICUT, DEVIL & PITCHFORK FANCY CANCEL, TYING A BLACK JACK STAMP ON AN INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IMPRINT COVER.

For a history of this fancy cancel, go to http://www.ctpostalhistory.com/CtPP/Postal_Markings_files/D%26PArticleJan2016XXXLR.pdf . A fascinating article on this subject by William Duffney also appeared in the most recent Congress Book. Only three examples of this fancy cancel are known used on Black Jack covers. One has the top portion of the stamp replaced and is a weak strike. The other strike is very clear and on an August 29 (1866) cover, two days before the latest recorded use (ex Barbara Fosdyke-Ray).

1322 c Image2c Black (73). Detailed impression, used with 3c Rose (65) and 10c Green (68), tied by three clear strikes of "Union" in Star fancy cancel (Skinner-Eno ST-C 14), "West Hampton Mass. Oct. 9, 1866" circular datestamp on cover to Paris, France, stamps also tied by red "New York Paid 6 Oct. 13" transit circular datestamp, red French transit ties 3c, receiving backstamp, barely reduced at right

VERY FINE. THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE MOST COLORFUL AND ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF THE "UNION" IN STAR FANCY CANCEL WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.

The West Hampton "Union" star Reconstruction-era fancy cancel is known on a fair number of covers with a single 3c 1861 paying the domestic rate. Only three covers to a foreign country are known to us. This cover to France was carried on the North German Lloyd line's Bremen, which departed New York on October 13, 1866, and arrived in Southampton on October 26.
