2010 Garfield-Perry Show Special Edition of The Machine Cancel Forum
The Annual General Meeting of The Machine Cancel Society was held at Cleveland, Ohio,
on Saturday, March 20, 2010, and was quite a success. Our intrepid editor
created a special edition of The Machine Cancel Forum for this event, which is
a fantastic document. Parts of the MCF are in color, something we
cannot normally do for the general newsletter. The content is a fascinating
study of "unknown" possible-machines used for cancelling mail. Take a look
at this
Special Edition Garfield-Perry Machine Cancel Forum.
This PDF file has not been converted to the MOBI file for
Kindle (tm), but we have created a special version of
the PDF file that reads quite well on the Kindle (especially
when viewed horizontally).
Try:
Special Edition Garfield-Perry Machine Cancel Forum ["narrow margin version", 8MB PDF file].
Since the subject matter of this MCF contains many conjectures and guesses,
the research associated with these "possible" machine cancellations
is on-going. The editor solicits your input, your suggestions, and
any new finds that you make of these fascinating types of cancellations.
Please contact our editor, A J Savakis at the following email address
(in plain English):

Special Edition of the Machine Cancel Forum for the 2009 APS StampShow
The APS StampShow, held in Pittsburgh in August 2009 was a great success. Many members and officers
of the Machine Cancel Society attended the show, as well as the
Annual Meeting. In addition, the Society ran a great information booth on the show
floor.
Our editor worked very hard, and created a special edition of the Machine Cancel Forum. Electronic copies of this special edition
are available as PDF files, including:
the entire Forum as a single PDF file [9 megabytes]
and individual PDF files for each article in the special Forum edition [9 megabytes].
Also, this special edition of the Forum has been converted to the "MOBI" format, which
is compatible with the Amazon Kindle (tm). Interested Kindle owners
should try downloading the
Special Edition 2009 Stampshow Machine Cancel Forum [16 megabyte .mobi file].

Fourth Edition of the Flag Cancel Encyclopedia
The Flag Cancel Encyclopedia was the life's work
of Frederick Langford. The Third edition has been an absolute
must have for machine cancel collectors
for many years. Now, after decades of work, a new edition is
available.
The Machine Cancel Society is now the seller of these
books, along with Langford's Doremus book. See
MCS announcement of sales
of last copies of Langford's books.

Modern Flag Machine
A flag machine is in current use in Warren, Ohio,
and collectors can receive cancels by requesting
them from the postmaster. If you would like
a copy of the Warren, Ohio, United States, flag machine
cancel, you are welcome to send a properly franked enveope or card
to:
US FLAG CANCEL
c/o Postmaster
Warren OH 44482
for cancellation. It will be posted the
next time the International HD2 is in
use. You can also request that your covers
be posted for September 11th and Veterans Day
November 11th, as these mailing dates are already
scheduled.
Your cards and envelopes need to be addressed, and
will pass through the mails unprotected from sprays and
other cancels, unless you supply a larger return
envelope for philatelic return. There is no charge
for this cancellation. It is the Warren community's
pleasure to make this cancel available for public
use.

William Barlow's Award-Winning Boston Machine Cancel Exhibit
Our Society's Past President, William Barlow, Jr., has produced an award-winning exhibit (2008 Indypex GOLD)
on the history of machine cancels used in Boston, Massachusetts. Most collectors of machine cancels
will recognize that Boston was a major center for experimentation with new machines, and study
of American flag machines used in this city alone offers
an amazing variety. The exhibit goes well beyond the American
company and is a useful education for both new and experienced machine cancel collectors.
The Boston Machine Cancel Exhibit (newer version)

mcsforum21IXioi9pppaawGHGH3OFSWS0@embarqmail27sawER57yiii4iIIXKBD24.com3lll3wWWEeUWPSZKJCUNVCIIF54
saying you paid for a book.
This offer is only available to Society members.
How good is the new edition? Glad you asked.
The book is beautiful, with full color on glossy paper. Each page has both German and English, arranged so as not to distract. The left column and to the left of each picture is the German text. The right column and to the left of each picture is the corresponding English. Quite frankly, one can compare each English and German sentence it is that well organized.
I had assumed correctly that even for a US collector, the information would be useable. There is a section on Columbia and Internationals used in Germany. It is very complete and user friendly. Lots of pictures of machines and covers.
So if you want a book "el pronto" send a check on or before Tuesday, September 16 to Gary Carlson and an email to me, Alex Savakis
mcsforum21IXiowesCCF55QOFSWS0@embarqmail27saw66yyuuASHTQXKBD24.com39F9wesd33442UWPSZKJCUNVCIIF54
, saying you sent the money to Gary, and both book and Forum go out in the same package.
Gary's Address is:

Possible EKU for Camp Perry, Ohio Flag
Your webmaster has come upon a possible EKU for
the Camp Perry, Ohio American flag cancel.
The primary reason for the "possible" is
the poor quality of many of these cancels.
This one is missing the day, but the postcard
message says that it is the first of September (1917)
so that puts us pretty close. A scanned image
is here.
Since this machine is quite uncommon, it is easy
to display a list of all reported items here:
One item from 1917, month and day not clear
September, 1917, day not clear (Saw illustration, attrib. Billings)
September 7, 1917, month/day not clear
November 1917, day not clear (previously Ockun, 2 cent stamp)
November 2, 1917 (saw)
November 23, 1917 (have)
December, 1917, day not clear
December 7, 1917 (from Ockun list (1991))
December 10, 1917 (La Posta auction, day not clear)
June 17, 1918
June 21, 1918
June 26, 1918
July 15, 1918
August 10, 1918
September 5, 1918 (have)
