U.S. Machine Cancel Finder -- Years 1900-1920

Updated July 3, 2011

Congratulations! You have a cancel that has a good chance of appearing in this finder, since these web pages try to cover known U.S. machines from the years 1900 through 1920.

Question: Is the cancellation (killer) made up of horizontal straight lines, and the postmark (town and date) inside a circle?

Like this? [example cancel]

Now, please be sure. The postmark must be a circle, not an oval [oval postmark] or square box [linear/box postmark] . The cancellation must be horizontal lines, not lines at an angle [angled lines] or flag-shaped , or wavy lines [wavy] , or a printed slogan of some kind [slogan] .

Yes [postmark is in a circle and cancellation is straight horizontal lines]

No [not a circle with horizontal lines]
