Perfin ID, New-York, 1927
Hello there. A small perfin question :
http://www.cijoint.fr/cj200907/cija4fjm21.jpg Who would decipher this perf on a US 2 cents stamp ? The date is nov 1927, the stamp is on an American Express Co. cover from France to the US, and has probably been put on the letter in New-York. The mechanical cancel is Hudson Terminal Station, NY The full cover, front (no spécific indication on the other side) : http://www.cijoint.fr/cjlink.php?fil...cijfjfQnYq.jpg This is beeing discussed on the french philately group (fr.rec.philatelie), re. no french cancel, the french stamp (1,50 FF) is at the right UPU rate, so the cover was probably in a passenger pocket (RMS Mauretania, Southampton to NY) and only entered the postal service in NY with a fresh stamp. Any suggestion is welcome, but the perfin origin is the question. Best regards, -- Cordialement, Bruno |

Perfin slanting upwards towards rhs. something like CC CS? I have nothing like it in my collection. Illustrates the necessity of a good scanner / scan blind perfs can be identified, not on this scan however. "bc92" wrote in message ... Hello there.

Then fill the punched holes with black ink and You will see, that there is a pattern. kind regards Gerhard |

G'day Gerhard, Blustery biting Brrrrrr's in Bavaria? That's what I did straight away, I usually use chrome yellow for the punctures. Here it is in black http://cjoint.com/data/hioNL0iwpP.htm Can you see something I cannot? I am wondering if you see a design rather than text. Rodney "Gerhard Reichert" Hi Rodney, try this please: save the stamp picture on Your PC. use xnview or any other software to pull out the red colour. print the new picture as large as possible with Your printer. Then fill the punched holes with black ink and You will see, that there is a pattern. kind regards Gerhard |

Best regards, -- Cordialement, Bruno This was quite a puzzle but I think I have identified the perfins pattern as an inverted CSS/Co - that used by the Cunard Steam Ship Company of New York. While I cannot state for certain, it appears that the cover was posted very late and probably was placed in the mailbag for the ship without being cancelled. In processing the mails, the on board mail clerk noted the missed cancel and added a Cunard stamp which was then cancelled in New York after the mails were offloaded. |

Bravo, if you are correct I note Cunard has also a perfin C/ssCo although I cannot locate images. This was quite a puzzle but I think I have identified the perfins pattern as an inverted CSS/Co - that used by the Cunard Steam Ship Company of New York. While I cannot state for certain, it appears that the cover was posted very late and probably was placed in the mailbag for the ship without being cancelled.
