There is newer information on the big 4 cancels

Go to 1898Revenues

Search for "Fakes, Frauds and Facsimiles: The 3rd Big 4 cancel by the J.W. Stowell Printing Company's Philatelic Adverting Bureau." 13 Nov 2022!

Good information and a little background info that is right and proper!

I have some of the examples shown in the article but not all, yet.
