# MCD23 - Fancy Cancel Foreign Mail from NY
Get a Vintage U.S. Stamp with a Fancy Cancel
Enjoy a New Collecting Experience
Own “Fancy Cancels” on 1870s U.S. stamps for a unique collecting experience. Post offices used cork blocks dipped in ink to cancel stamps. That could obscure the stamp, so postmasters carved designs in the cork so they could see the denomination.
The classic stamps have small flaws that don’t detract from their appeal (and save you money). Expand or begin a fancy cancel collection of your own. Order yours today.
