Triangle cancellation mystery
Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 7:00 pm
Dear All,
I understand that triangle cancellations were used for mailing circulars and simple printed matter, with the envelope being unsealed. I have two examples of the same envelope with the same triangular mark, one is attached. What bemuses me is that there is no way to tell when the item was posted. Is this normal?
If anybody could enlighten me on this particular triangle, and the cancellation in general, I'll be delighted.
Thanks a ton,
Robin
