GB query~hex cancellations.
Anyone know anything about these,
I do not recall seeing many in my travels. http://cjoint.com/data/gDpQPSTwz5.htm One is from the Monopoly board, Park Lane, Brownie points for anybody who can discern just three readable letters from the LHS strike. Thanks. |

OK - I give up - that LH cancel almost looks like Greek though I can't think why you would get a Greek cancel on a Brit stamp.

GB query~hex cancellations.
I am glad you responded John,
exactly my thoughts, hence my query about hex cancels, Park Lane throws the spanner in the works, establishing hex shaped cancels exist in GB history. Mind you, employing the name database for the squared circles there are many very funny place names in Great Britain. "John Mycroft" wrote in message .. .

They were issued parallel to the "Squared Circle" postmarks that began in the late 1870's. Some were used until 1909. I believe that this was used in Lombard Street PO. I have read that certain hex cancels were seen used into the early 1920s. Blair |

"Sir F. A. Rien" Perhaps by favour, but the two 'authoritative' works on the Fancy geometrics list 1909 as the last, official, day-to-day usage. They were phasing out the "fancy geometrics" in Lombard St BO EC by 1905 as seen by this perfin HB http://cjoint.com/data/hbhMaW4hmO.htm Lombard St. Box Office East Central |

well browsing through "Askphil" "branch office" seems more appropriate unless "box office" has been defined in some correspondance somewhere R "Asia-translation" Branch Office?
