Scott # 73

Scott # R1c

3352display.jpg

S. H. Myers. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R1c

Ornate 7-line boxed precancel from an as yet unidentified photographer. Note the several different typefaces used. Ex-Baryla, from his award winning Civil War Sun Tax exhibit.


Scott # R3c

1797display.jpg

Mark C. Terry. Partial margin imprint capture with a gorgeous stencil cancel.


Scott # R3c

2889display.jpg

N. H. Tuck. The manuscript cancels are pretty mundane. Of greater interest is the stencil backstamp. I do not know if it was ever used as a stamp cancel. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R3c

3324display.jpg

Jesse Groom. Very ornate frame for the stamp. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R3c

3342display.jpg

Scott # R3c

3389display.jpg


Scott # R3c

4548display.jpg

Groom's CDV and Photograph Gallery. Great ornate backstamp.


Scott # R5a

4384display.jpg

George Ross. 2-cent Bank Check imperforate and 1-cent Proprietary perforated, on a CDV. Imperf usages on CDVs are very unusual, as the 2-year window that photographs were taxed was long after most imperforates were used up. However, California is one place that legitimate late usages of imperfs are frequently encountered.


Scott # R5c

2760display.jpg

B. F. Chidester. Very nice backstamp.


Scott # R5c

3346display.jpg

Bisected top half, along with a full stamp, paying 3 cents tax. Unlisted in Scott.

H. Cushing.


Scott # R6c

2894display.jpg

T. C. Haynes. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R6c

2902display.jpg

R. E. Merrifield. A very scarce and unusual CDV, in that it shows both stencil cancel designs used by R.E. Merrifield, one as a cancel on the stamp, and the other as a back mark on the photograph. This larger, more ornate design was also used to cancel stamps. See this stamp for an example. Ex-Baryla, from his award winning Civil War Sun Tax exhibit.


Scott # R6c

3291display.jpg

S. G. Sheaffer & Co.. Double-rim oval handstamp cancel.


Scott # R6c

Scott # R6c

3316display.jpg

F. Mowrey. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R6c

3320display.jpg

Cary's Gallery. They are tough to make out unless you zoom in, but each stamp is cancelled by a tiny little 'CARY' single line handstamp, one of the smallest cancels on record.


Scott # R6c

3321display.jpg

M. L. Bruster.


Scott # R6c

3325display.jpg

Thomas Shaw. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R6c

3374display.jpg

Slee Brothers.


Scott # R6c

3379display.jpg

E. A. Scholfield.


Scott # R6c

3382display.jpg

William Nims. Clearly an error in the date slug of the cancel, as the tax on photographs was only in effect from 1864 to 1866.


Scott # R6c

3387display.jpg

Joseph Wright. Very unusual. Cancel is a discarded post office handstamp, apparently handed down by the postmaster to the photographer. Wright's photography studio was located next door to the post office. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R6c

4911display.jpg

Green & Epleys Fine Art Gallery.


Scott # R6c

5098display.jpg

L. T. Sparhawk. Oval handstamp cancel with artistic 'Artist' in the center, as well as a bold backstamp on the CDV.

2904display.jpg

Imlay. Ex-Baryla, from his award winning Civil War Sun Tax exhibit.


Scott # R13c

2909display.jpg

One-of-a-kind pair on back of a tintype. The top stamp is the Scott-listed T13a double transfer. Of greater interest, however, is the second stamp in the pair, the position directly below the T13a, which shows similar doubling, but not as strong. Ex-Baryla, from his award winning Civil War Sun Tax exhibit.


Scott # R13c

2917display.jpg

P. A. Stout. Elaborate stencil that served double duty as a backstamp and as stamp cancel. See this stamp for an example of the same stencil used to cancel a stamp. Ex-Baryla, from his award winning Civil War Sun Tax exhibit.


Scott # R13c

3366display.jpg

Howard & Co..


Scott # R13c

3375display.jpg

Thomas Cummings.


Scott # R13c

3383display.jpg

Frederick. Very unusual, as the full stamp is placed over a partial stamp underneath. It is possible this was an attempt to pay a 3-cent tax with a bisected stamp, or simply the other portion of the stamp underneath was lost and a complete stamp was placed over top.


Scott # R13c

3390display.jpg

Bush's Photographic Gallery. Guideline at right of stamp. CDV with very ornate backstamp.


Scott # R13c

3860display.jpg

Good & Stokes. Wonderful stylized monogram cancel, incorporating both initials of (G)ood & (S)tokes. Flip it one way and you see the G. Flip it the opposite way and you see the S.


Scott # R13c

4055display.jpg

Huge jumbo example of R13c on a CDV from an unknown photographer.


Scott # R13c

4092display.jpg

S. F. Sterlin. Interesting Civil War satirical patriotic piece ridiculing the Confederacy that shows Jefferson Davis in a dress. The caption reads 'Brutal attack on helpless women by the U.S. government'. The dialogue has a woman saying 'You had better not provoke the president, he might hurt some of you' and a Union soldier replying 'Yer dont say'.


Scott # R13c

4330display.jpg

C. D. Fredricks & Co.. Photo is of Charles W. Nestel, known as 'Commodore Foote,' the smallest man in the world, and his sister, Miss Eliza S. Nestel, known as the 'Fairy Queen' of the West, the smallest lady in the world.

Whitney & Beckwith.

Courtesy of Bruce Baryla — This 'Skull and Bones' handstamp was known to collectors of fancy handstamps by its appearance as a 'sender's mark' on covers mailed in 1857 by the 'Society of Twenty-Two,' a Yale University based fraternal group associated with the famous Skull and Bones Society.

This same handstamp was used years later as a stamp canceling device. As it turns out, the secretary of the 'Society of Twenty-Two' in 1857 was Robert A. Beckwith. He became a photographer and co-owner of the Whitney & Beckwith studio — and he repurposed the handstamp from his college days to cancel revenue stamps.

See this blog entry for other examples with different portions of the cancel.

J. A. Clayton. Horizontal pair on CDV. There are only a handful of R14c multiples known. California CDVs are also quite scarce.


Scott # R14c

5277display.jpg

Very unusual. This CDV depicts a famous painting, Robert Walter Weir's 'The Embarkation of the Pilgrims', painted in 1857, which currently hangs in the United States Capitol rotunda.


Scott # R14c

5702display.jpg

Whitney & Beckwith. Lovely 4-margin example of R14c with bold W&B handtsamp cancel on a CDV.

Scott # R15c

2901display.jpg

Scott # R15c

2907display.jpg

C. Becker. The only reported pictorial cancel depicting a studio camera. No complete example of the shield cancel has been reported. Other portions of the cancel can be seen on this CDV. Ex-Baryla, from his award winning Civil War Sun Tax exhibit.


Scott # R15c

2908display.jpg

C. Becker. Portions of the only reported pictorial cancel depicting a studio camera. No complete example of the shield cancel has been reported. Other portions of the cancel can be seen on this CDV. Ex-Baryla, from his award winning Civil War Sun Tax exhibit.


Scott # R15c

3295display.jpg

E. T. Stearns. Interesting how the cancel does not exactly match the backstamp of the CDV. The business may have been in transition. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R15c

3310display.jpg

T. J. Trapp. Intersting use of a handstamp cancel as a backstamp. Ex-Baryla.

Scott # R15c

3350display.jpg

T. R. Gettys. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R15c

3354display.jpg

H. H. Parkhill. Unusual cancel. The crudeness of the typeface implies a hand carved cancel.


Scott # R15c

3355display.jpg

L. Moulton. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R15c

3358display.jpg

Harper & Brothers. Ex-Baryla.

Scott # R15c

3385display.jpg

G. K. Warren.


Scott # R15c

5101display.jpg

S. C. Hansen. Incredibly unusual item; never seen another like it. CDV that served as a raffle ticket. It's not the lottery ticket tax, which expired in 1864. It falls within the taxable period of CDVs, but the initials in the cancel are not that of the photographer. Instead, it appears to match the name written on the ticket, which means it is presumably the person running the lottery or the purchaser of the ticket, paying the tax on the $1 purchase price of the ticket.


Scott # R15e

4664display.jpg

J. Thurlow. 2006 APEX and 2017 William T. Crowe certificates. The only reported example of R15e on a CDV. Also the finest centered example I have been able to find in my R15e census research. Exquisite piece!


Scott # R16c

3337display.jpg

A. F. Morse. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R16c

3339display.jpg

Dr. H. Baker. Very unusual. The backstamp of the CDV reads 'Dr. H. Baker' yet the single-line handstamp cancel appears to read 'M. E. Parker'. Any ideas? Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R17c

2827display.jpg

D. O. Furnald. Ex-Baryla, from his award winning Civil War Sun Tax exhibit. Subject of the photo is William H. Baldwin, 1st New York Engineers.

F. & M. Merwin.


Scott # R17c

5447display.jpg

Giles Bishop. Wonderfully centered 3-cent Playing Cards on a CDV. There appear to be plate scratches across the top. I'm looking for a confirming example with the same scratches, so please contact me if you have seen one.


Scott # R18b

2903display.jpg

Sewell's Art Gallery. Ex-Baryla, from his award winning Civil War Sun Tax exhibit.


Scott # R18c

Scott # R18c

London Stereoscopic & Photographic Co.. Attractive use on a Swiss Stereoview.


Scott # R18c

2900display.jpg

William H. Ruggles. Wonderful cancel created from printer's type in both straight lines and arcs. In addition to being a photographer, he was also a 'Dealer in Watches, Clocks, Jewelry, Perfumery and Fancy Articles. Watches, Clocks and Jewelry repaired.' Ex-Baryla, from his award winning Civil War Sun Tax exhibit.


Scott # R18c

2910display.jpg

S. McCrary. Scarce stencil cancel rarely found on CDV, one of three known California photographers that used stencil cancels. S. McCrary was located in a fraternal organization meeting room called the 'Odd Fellows Hall'. Ex-Baryla, from his award winning Civil War Sun Tax exhibit.

Jex Bardwell. Diminuitive circular handstamp. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R18c

3299display.jpg

T. J. Merritt. I'm not sure which of the 3 listed business entities was responsible for this item, so I went with the first one on the list. Once could also posit that cancels for the second and third would have incorporated '& Co.' into the cancel. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R18c

3300display.jpg

Frank Rowell. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R18c

Carpenter & Mullen.


Scott # R18c

Ferdinand W. Wagner. Colorful hand-tinted stereview. Ferdinand W. Wagner was a retailer of photographs rather than a photographer, hence the revenue stamp on a French stereoview.


Scott # R18c

4787display.jpg

L. B. Simonds. 'Ambrotype artist'. Wonderful large-format stencil backstamp. It's possible this was also used as a stamp cancel; if you have any examples, please contact me.


Scott # R18c

5099display.jpg

George K. Knapp & Co..


Scott # R18c

5125display.jpg

Mathew Brady. Great strike of 'Brady' script cancel on a CDV of an unidentified soldier. CDV has front marks tying together the 'Brady' and 'Washington' script printed cancels.

5278display.jpg

Francis Forshew. Large script F monogram handstamp cancel.

3388display.jpg

Getchell & Brownell. Part perfs are quite scarce on CDVs. Ex-Baryla.

Scott # R19c

3357display.jpg

J. S. Bibbins. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R22c

1971display.jpg

Elias A. Bonine. Amazing piece. This is a legitimate bisected R21c or R22c, unlisted in Scott. Photographer was known for signing his name as a play on words, using 'Bo9' rather than 'Bonine', the latter portion of which is clearly apparent on the bisect.


Scott # R24c

3312display.jpg

P. L. Perkins. Inverted day and month in cancel. Ex-Baryla.


Scott # R28c

2759display.jpg


Scott # R29c

Scott # R40c
