Smudge Cancels on Stamps

originally posted Tuesday November 7, 2006 on www.talmanstamps.com

Annoying smudge cancels on Jubilees, Quebec Tercentenary, etc. - many of them have been cleaned over the years but there are still enough around to keep you busy. If you want to reveal a bit more of the design under the smudge cancel, take an art eraser and gently work at the cancel. In most cases a lot of the dark ink can be removed. Don't rub too strongly - you can damage the stamp. Experiment with cheaper stamps first.
