19th Century Fancy Cancels can comprise an interesting specialty collection. There were many different designs carved into the cork canceling devices of the time. A Killer Cancel refers to a cancel that completely obliterates the design of the stamp and prevents reuse of the item. (A common practice of the time.) |
