I have a few bits and pieces from my exhibit. I may have another grungy one somewhere, bit unlikely. Looking at these, I found an error in my display that I need to correct! O90 14-XII-16 Early!

The year just looks like it dropped off. There are many, many cancellations on the 1880 stamps. Most all are cancelled to order and dated around 1897/1898. I have a hundred or so and most with dates so close to each other, or same dates. There …
