Devil and Pitchfork Fancy Cancel Double struck with scott #65's from West Meriden, Connecticut dated June 4th and tied to a blue legal cover to Brooksvale Connecticut. The Devil and pitchfork cancels were first used April 16th 1866 with the latest date being August 31st 1866. Only 5 months of use. This example of the rare cancel is complete and is very clear. As the cancel was used more, it became worn and less distinct.  Being tied with 2 strikes  on cover 65's is most unusual as many were used with just one stamp and often the cancel off cover was not  complete as this particular example.  

Postage will include another fee of approximately

 11.00 for insurance on top of the regular shipping
