U.S. Petroleum-related
Pictorial and Slogan Cancellations
This tabular listing is provided for the convenience and
interest of other petroleum stamp collectors. The dates listed represent ones
for which I have seen examples — the cancellations may also have been used
on other dates, however. This listing is certainly incomplete and if you can
supply information, and especially also digital illustrations, for any missing
items, I would be very grateful. Please contact me at scholle1@nmt.edu.
If you have petroleum-related covers for sale or trade, I would also be very
glad if you would contact me, as many of the items on this page are available
for trade. If there is a number in the last column, that means I have an example
of that cancellation available on cover for trade.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Because the information on this page is contained in a large table, nothing
may show up on your browser until the table is completely loaded (and that may
take some time if you have a slow internet connection) — so please be patient.
Once this page loads, if you click on a PHOTO link
it will bring up an image in a NEW (additional) window in order to minimize
the need to frequently reload the very large main table. That means that you
may need to close or resize the new window in order again see this page. Each
PHOTO link you click on will bring up an additional
page so you will also need to close these extra windows if your computer runs
into memory problems.
