First of all, I'm not an US collector, but there is a lot coming my way. On this stamp (Sc642 (perf 11x10½)) I liked the postmark. But Is it from New York? And the date, 1-4 1929, is that 1st. April 1929 or is it 4th. January 1929? And then it is the perfin. ETC I think.  |

yes, January 4, 1929
New York is a good guess. If the Perfin can be ID'd it might strengthen the case for New York

Nice postmark, Torbjørn ( tobben63), thanks for sharing. I am a little late to the party, but I agree completely with Stan ( stainlessb) about the date. 1-4-1929 will always be 4th January. As for the location, I think that New York is by far the most likely, and in fact, if you look on the far right of your stamp, you can see the base and left arm of the "Y". I think there is 90%+ certainty that it is NEW YORK. What I really find interesting is that this oval-style cancel has a date in the middle. I did some online searching, and most of the other oval ones from NEW YORK that I could find showed REG in the middle (short for REGISTERED) or just another letter or blank. Below is an example with REG in the middle, but otherwise, it is very similar in style to yours.  |

Both examples are on 10c stamps which for a single cancel is a relatively high value .
What was postage in 1929? 2c I’d guess so the extra would probably cover the registration fee

Domestic first class postage in 1929 was 2 cents. Domestic registration fee was 15 cents vikingeck You wrote "Both examples are on 10c stamps which for a single cancel is a relatively high value" I don't understand what you are saying here. |

According to perfins.org, it is the Equitable Trust Company of New York.
