Please can anyone help me with any information about this cancellation applied on a cover circulated from Honduras to France via USA?
This cork (negative square) cancellation was applied in Mobile, Al. in 1911 , as a paquebot mail, while in transit to France. I understand by this time all cork/fancy cancellations were out of use in USA. Why was this still in use at Mobile?
I have a second cover with the same treatment the same year.
Thanks,
Edgardo

Actually you can find cork cancels into the 1920s. They are not common that late in time, but they are around.
