From todays estate auction purchase. One of the binders was labelled 'Fancy Cancel's'. Of course, most of them weren't.
But I was able to glean these out of the batch.
Nice 'web' on the #63 Franklin, top left corner.
The pair of Washingtons on the top row with what looks like an 8 (?) pointed star has a C grill.
The other pair on piece (corner of a mourning cover) is also grilled, but can't tell which.
The first Washington on row 2 has, I believe, a beautiful purple New York Foreign Mail cancel. The cross on Jackson in the middle of the same row is also an NYFM, circa 1870 - 1879.
