@SusanKolze Yes I see that now, I think it was the CALIF that was confusing me I was expecting just CAL

Another interesting #precancel stamp came across my desk.

LOS ANGELES
CAL
with inverted
SRC ???? 56

I can't make out the letters that overprint CAL

@CollectsStamps Have you considered printing your own pages? I don't use albums anymore but if I wish to do an album in the future I think I will likely print my own pages.

I know it's in cull condition but I was excited to find this Canadian Scott# 15 in the dregs of a 4 pound box of Kiloware. I am sure some would bin this stamp but I will appreciate it as a placeholder for now!

@CollectsStamps Maybe that's the trick! I have had poor results with shorts in my regular channel. Good luck, keep us posted on your results.

@arlkev That's how I interpret it. But I don't think it's set in stone, make it what you want.

Here is a relatively late use of a duplex cancel on a US stamp from 1960. I seach on Google shows examples at least until 1965 but they seem to be fairly uncommon by this point.

If border collies collected stamps I am pretty sure it would be a focused topical collection.

@stampswith_sara Those should be good. I am a big fan of the 6 inch round tip from safepub. My suggestion is try a bunch of styles and learn what works for you. You may even like different types for different uses.

A few #perfins on US stamps which I found whole sorting kiloware last night.
