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. 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. Further info on the Cunard Steamship Company Limited. perfin.

Format : � �CSS � Co Ld Office : Liverpool Perfin Catalogue Number : 7280.01 =========================== Another Cunard one reported is : � � C �ssCo Blair However, the perfins pattern I believe I identified is a U.S. perfins. The U.S. Perfins Catalog illustrates the pattern I described as having the letters CSS above the letters Co - what the catalog describes as 2H - 2 rows of letters in a horizontal pattern. This pattern is identified as being used by Cunard's New York offices. A different pattern - CS/SA - also from the U.S., is listed as being used by their Chicago offices. In my Tompkins Catalogue of Identified G. B. Perfins, 7th edition, there are 4 different Cunard patterns listed - CSS/Co - 7240.02; C/ S.S.Co - 7260.01; C/S.S.Co - 7260.01a; and CSS/CoLd - 7280.01 |
