Scott #273 Lighter Green [1895 10c green Webster with corner triangles, watermarked] Used, with Average-Fine centering, BLOCK OF FOUR with heavy, undated double oval cancellations. Lower right stamp with crease. This stamp and this type of undated cancellation was typically used on registered, parcel, or third class mail, thus this cancellation appearance is fairly typical. Though the single stamp is common, used blocks of four are surprisingly scarce. (Scott 2024 $21 for block.)
