1844 cancellation Query

Post by JohnB »

I have an 1844 cancel 447 of Leeds on a 1d Plate 37 but without serifs on the figures. It is normal in other respects. Is the date of introduction or period of use of this cancel known ?

John,
There were three '447' 1844 marks issued to Leeds without serifs. Recorded uses between June 1845 and April 1850 and relatively common
