I like pen cancels dated before 1945, but I think the best are dated 1914 and older.

Do I dare ask, "Why?" You didn't say why...

Late 1945 the ball point pens became available in this country, (unknown about other countries), my interest is 1914 and older.

re: Why I Like Pen Cancels

I just found this in my collection, no idea when I got it but loved seeing the nib pen cancellation (I got into fountain pens a little while back).

I'm new at identifying, but I believe it's a Scott 1862-71 R15 R2 2C U.S. Internal Revenue, orange ('64)

The best I can make out the cancellation date is Oct 18 1864 (though it could be a fancy 7?)... what do you think?
