COLE #Lc-4
A boldly-struck and virtually complete 1880s "c" monogram of cohoes, new york [a cole-listed fancy cancel] . . . A typical example of a late 19th century corner card - - -
This listing offers_ _a large format u.S. Bank note stamp issue on an intact cover [exhibiting "typical aging and edgewear"] with a nice "fancy cancel" strike***---this fancy cancel is possibly a commercial design . . .
Further, this particular design is identified [by a unique alpha-numeric assignment] and is represented by an accurately-sized tracing in the authorative james m. Cole catalogue, "cancellations and killers of the banknote era:1870-1894" . . .
_______________________
_all cancellations should be considered to have been applied in "black ink" unless otherwise stated in the listing heading or description...Increasing or decreasing contrast or brightness of the item's scans during the uploading process can slightly alter some color hues. _
_===============================_
_ note that some minor stamp flaws may be present that do not adversely affect the appearance of this classic stamp or its fancy cancellation._ _ according to cole, some strikes may appear identical to others and have similar format, but actually exhibit slightly different dimensions, for example. These minor variations occur frequently with hand-carved designs because the original carved impression becomes damaged or otherwise unusable, and the designated "post office's carver" produces an extremely similar, but not perfectly identical replacement. Cole further acknowledges that the catalogue tracing may represent a second or later generation of a particular design although professional cataloguers make every attempt to publish an exact representation of the original version whenever it is available [either...Preferably on-cover...Or if necessary, off-cover]._
