Item Description
This stamp is Scott number 220. It has never been in a collection. The obliterator is a hand-carved cork design and is the only copy of this unusual design found among the thousands of off-paper stamps and cut squares collected from businesses at Union City, Indiana. Although some stamps may have been collected across the state line in Union City, Ohio, I have found no evidence of that. Most of the readable postmarks are from 1891 to 1893. The material was bundled or boxed in a manner that left most of it very well protected from damage and aging for over a century.Although mail was coming to Union City from all over the country, much of it seemed to be coming from small cities and towns in Indiana and Ohio and to a lesser degree from smaller communities in other nearby states. In other words, most of the fancy and geometric cancels probably originated within 150 to 200 miles of Union City. Many of the cut squares have partial circular date stamps that identify the post offices associated with the accompanying obliterator designs. That is rarely the case with the stamps, and the post office of origin for this one remains a mystery.

- Shipping Instructions
- About 3½ years ago, I stopped selling and shipping outside the US due to new postal rules and rapidly rising costs. The USPS is raising postal rates again in January 2019. Today, December 25, 2018, due to the continuing rise in the cost of postage and associated fees, I am reluctantly raising my general shipping fee for the first time in many years. My sales here at HipStamp involve no additional charge for the purchase of multiple stamps. Shipping is via USPS unless otherwise specified. Be sure to contact me before making your purchases if you have questions.
