Bekgian cancel ID help
A friend has asked if I can get him some information on the Exaerde oval
cancel in the image posted at: http://cjoint.com/?eComupUbTe So far all I've been able to do is confirm the existence of a Belgian town named Exaerde. But the oval cancel is not familiar to me. Can anybody add to what little I've found? -- Stan |

Take a look at the double "D". Looks like a split in the cancels above the first "E". Just a quick opinion. I have seen some stretched CDS on other Belgian stamps, but always thought that they were mis-struck. The only "true" ovals I have seen are on straight-line with oval frame, from Liers and the Brussels parcel post #1,2,3 cancels on the early '30s stamps. These ovals are horizontal, left to right. Also, I have seen the newspaper cancels of the late 18th and early 19th century on regular stamps. These tend to be vertical. I would look closer at the cancel. |
