Even though they are quite common, I am always thrilled to find a "broken hat" variety on USA Scott #231. While examining some box lot purchases made over the weekend, I came across several 231s. Thanks to the helpful postal clerk who applied this fancy cancel, I had no trouble checking this stamp - it is almost as if, 120 years ago, he said to himself, "Now let's make sure Bobby doesn't miss this one!"

I also have found 2 of the broken hat varieties. One is in my collection and the other went to a friend.

Great find!!

re: Fancy cancel zeros in on a broken hat

I have nearly a dozen broken hat varieties, but none with a cancel that nicely placed.

Great find, Bobby!

Obviously as captain of a smaller ship, he didn't earn enough money to buy a better hat.

re: Fancy cancel zeros in on a broken hat

Dad found a Clark thread box packed tightly with bundled (by 100 each) 2c (a separate box had the 1c). Many years later, I sorted out the "broken hat" varieties. Some had nice fancy cancels, but nothing to match this one!
