VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE AND BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE DESIRABLE BINGHAMTON HERRINGBONE CANCEL

Fancy "killer" cancels are extremely rare in the 1847-51 period. The term "killer" to describe the cancel was actually used by New York Postmaster Robert H. Morris. Although fancy rate markings from the pre-stamp era were used to cancel 1847 stamps, fancy cancels created for the specific purpose of "killing" stamps did not become popular until the 1850's.

According to the Alexander Census book, the postmaster in Binghamton ordered his first supply of the stamps from the postmaster of New York, Robert Morris, rather than through official channels from the Post Office Department, as he wanted to see whether local residents would adopt their use. Since the order was not placed through official channels, he did not receive the customary 7-bar canceling device and instead made his own.
