    I have always found the DDR definitives difficult and have avoided them. Looking forward to your explanations.

    Sounds like a good idea: a thread about the definitives of the DDR.
    Unfortunately I am not complete,missing two stamps and a number
    of the reprints,what were produced for export,with printed cancels only.

    Do you have all the frame numbers? I started to collect all the frame/vignette combos for C11 but threw in the towel fairly quickly.:nailbiting:

    No i have just started. My plan was to collected all the shifts positions used not used and on cover. Make an actual position number to help track how scarce the position actuality is. It will be a long process. I even thought about collecting a shifted cover from every state.

    Richard:

    That first cover has a very nice Buffalo Pan American Exposition cancel from a Barry rectilinear machine.

    The clock-like cancel was used to record date and time of arrival, usually in business offices. It is not a postal device or cancel.

    The cancel you ask about from Sydney, Ohio, is a Doremus Type C cancel.

    Richard, I'm not a cancel expert. I, however, do find early cancels interesting and try to identify them for my cover write-ups. I use this and similar sites for identification:
