Does anyone collect bisect stamps?

As far as I know, we did not have them in Australia.

In the early U.S., bisects were used as well. If you come across a bunch let's talk.

I have a few covers here and there - I think I have one from the Channel Is. Fun stuff to find! Could you post a pic?

Bisects have been used in a great many countries to cover franking when there were a shortage of suitable stamps. When found on cover they are usually quite valuable and hence are commonly found on contrived covers in an attempt to cheat collectors.

There have been numerous bisects for sale on eBay from Panama, all of them were favor cancelled and not postally used.

Since I read the beginning of this thread, I came across this one for sale, you know where...
I remember the topic of bisects back when I was collecting in the 1970s. I experimented by sending a few to myself, and got them in the mail without issue. I'll have to dig them up. They are probably somewhere in the hoard.

I found this in a large lot of pre-cancels I bought. Not really a bisect, but interesting. The 2 halves are not from the same stamp as far as I can tell. No clue as to why someone did this.

These are neat...I wonder if a bisect would make it through the mail today? I might just try it!!

Maybe they cut off the half that had a cancel on it?

I found an old envelope with a one cent Canadian stamp and a three cent Canadian stamp cut in half and attached to the envelope. The envelope was passed through the postal system in 1939 to a home in Granville Ferry NS. I`m assuming for a collector . Can anyone add to the mystery of bisect stamps for me?
