Seller's Description
Scott #409!
Type #4A4
Canal Street Station, Chicago Machine Cancel
Hand Addressed to:
Postmaster
Saginaw Mich
The reverse has a secondary outgoing postal cancel.
Farwell Perforations 1911-1917 The John V. Farwell Company was a wholesale dry goods firm operating out of Chicago. In 1908 it began using the Schermack stamp-affixing machine to handle its heavy volume of mail. By 1911 it was decided that rather than paying the Mailometer Company a 50¢ per roll surcharge for their Schermack III coils, they might be able to produce their own coils to use in the Schermack machines at a cost saving. The large number of varieties in this group reflects the amount of experimentation that went into getting the stamps to feed properly in the Schermack machine. The nomenclature for these is as follows: The first number describes the number of holes at top and the last number the number of holes at bottom. The letter in the middle describes the spacing, where “A” describes a narrow spacing and “B” a wide spacing. All holes are 1.5mm in diameter, vertically aligned and spaced a more or less consistent .5mm apart.
Light to average wear. A few light wrinkles and a small stain on the front. Bottom left corner creased. Condition is Fine / Very Fine. Please view the scans to form your own opinion on condition. Additional information upon request. Just message me! Thanks for looking, and thanks in advance for your bids!
