| These are interesting cancels. Do they mean anything special? Are they fancy cancels from a particular place? |
| Somewhere I have an article on these. I wish I knew where. St. Petersburg, I think. [Jay Carrigan] |
| These are cancellations of the local posts of St Petersburg, Russia. Numerals existing include: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, XI, 13, 14, XV, XVI, XVII, and XXXI. Each corresponds to a different city post office. Some are quite common, especially 1 and 6. Others are quite rare, XV, XVI, XVII, and XXXI. I invite the interested reader to consult "Die Poststempelformen in St. Petersburg von 1766-1914" by H. Imhof. [Jim Simon] |
