    Hi Richard:

    You can eliminate the 2 being a 3 as Booth Bay Harbor used a flag cancel only during 1926 - 1928.

    Thanks Don yes it is a 2 at closer look. Can I ask were you found the cancel listing. I would like to use it for future reference Than You All though mine does look like a 634a it could not be with that cancel date

    Hi Richard:

    The information about the Booth Bay Harbor is in the Standard Flag Cancel Encyclopedia by Frederick Langford. Multiple editions printed, mine is the Second Completely Revised Edition, 1965. The listing for Booth Bay Harbor is on page 19 of my edition.

    Not a 634A because of the plate number but still interesting. To my poor vision some look long and some look short LOL Why is Washington chewing on a tooth pick L@@k at close scan. An interesting thing happened I asked APS if they would give a certificate for a sheet of 100 stamps. They said yes as long as its all togeather they count it as only one submit ion.
