Starting I believe in 1893 with the Chicago World's Fair, machine cancel slogans were adapted to advertise national and international expositions. The date range is from 1893 to the 1920's I believe. I collect these cancels on cover and would love to see your expo cancels as well. Generally speaking cancels from the 19th century are scarcer than those of the 20th century.National Export Exposition
September 14 - November 31 1899
Barry Rectilinear Machine Cancel
Philadelphia, PA - Station 1
Dated October 20, 1899
The cover is reduced a bit at left, but sports a clear impression of the cancel.

The postal card with 1 cent red indicia depicting President McKinley was issued August 10, 1911(Scott UX24). Nice one. There are a number of varieties of this cancel. Notice how on this cancel there is no space for a service number (would normally be in the middle line of the killer under the T in Postal). There are also some Panama Pacific cancels with a space for a service number, but no service number, others which have the service number. |

Saint Louis World's Fair (Louisiana Purchase Exhibition)
April 30 - December 1 1904
International machine cancel

Dated November 30, 1902Finding one on an advertising cover is a bonus of course. The highest station number I have seen is six.
