Help with 881 Cancel

Post by Galveston »

I see this as 881, which I find as Swindon Station in Wilts Co., yes? If so, is this a Type 1844 cancel? I do not see it anywhere listed - only 3VOS & VOD's. Thank you for any help.

Galveston,

I can see why you see the cancel as 881, but when I looked at it before reading your post, I thought it might be 831.

831 of Wakefield (Yorkshire) comes as a 3HOS in various forms, and that's what I think it must be.

Postmark Reveal, https://www.postmark-reveal.com/ might help you tease out the number. It is quite an effective successor to the defunct retroReveal.
