Thanks for showing Darrin ( darkormex ); that is quite the collection of spray-on cancels and there are some interesting postmarks there. Quite the variety including dates, timestamps, locations, etc. and the 'T - trailing' cancel of Kingsford, MI is not to be missed... Happy collecting!

A cover from another Swedish dealer, with Swedish stamps. 6 days from Sweden to Catalonia. Not bad!

Letter from a dealer in Belgium. 9 days "priority" from Belgium to Barcelona (1300 km). Not bad, but nothing outstanding.

Don StampHinger I will ask the clerk at the Edmundston Post Office - I hate their cancellation stamp and am working for something better for our Post Office but Canada Post is not as speedy as our request LOL When informed I will come back René

Wrapping of a registered pack (1290g) from Ripoll (Catalonia) to Barcelona: 92 km. Two days. Not Bad!
It contained a gift from a friend: the president of the stamp club on that town. She's taking advance of covid lockdown, to send dupes to friends. Some, very interesting.
Scarce use of a mini-sheet and a high value definitive.

These two letters arrived on Monday. Scribble cancel and no cancel. I guess it is just too hard to grab a cancel and do a proper job.

This cover from the UK carried another addition to my China Clipper collection -- a cover with cachet (Mellone/Planty C20-7) flown from San Francisco to Guam. At least the content had a proper postmark. I was surprised to see a stamp commemorating "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." Perhaps we need a "Game Show" thread in the Topical category.

Postal stationery I've received recently. It came from a dealer (post-paid !). Postage for this 50g letter was € -.95, so I guess, he had too many of them. I removed the peelable address-sticker. Machine-vended label type of 2008. Registered stationery, sent as ordinary mail.

Had a good day -- these four covers delivered ebay stamp, cover and an international response coupon purchases. Ten U.S. classics from Japan: A 9 cent U.S. IRC issued in 1926: A first day China Clipper cover with cachet (20-6): A dummy stamp booklet (the clerk probably saw the "Fragile" sticker and didn't cancel the cover so as not to damage its contents ):

This little beauty arrived in last week's post; a Canada Post Corporation rarity given the cancels. In fact it is the "double entendre" presented by the Evergreen RPO postmark that makes this cover interesting for me,
The 37¢ & 64¢ stamps are both from the Canadian Locomotives Souvenir Sheet (Scott n.º 1039a)
Happy collecting!

A rather curious letter,delivered by postcon,a private mailing service in Germany:
It looks like that the lower (inverted) "cancel" is from the sending place Munic (?) on April 6th.
The upper "cancel" could be from the place of destination (Essen),but shows no date. However the date April 7th,was added by pencil-mark,the day the letter was delivered.

A cover I received from a seller in France with a wide range ofstamps from the 1960,s to the 1980,s.many with a nautical theme.All very carefully placed on the envelope and all cancelled too. It amazes me that these non-Euro denominated stamps are still valid for postage.

A political solicitation, bulk mail with an enclosed Business Reply Mail (BRM) envelope and contents.
The BRM envelope bears two 1-c apple stamps and peeks out through the window.
One apple stamp with printing cylinder numbers 111111.
I like the message on the envelope - "Live Postage Enclosed"
Don't want any dead postage!
I will keep intact.
