Scarce Ohio Small Town Precancel Trio – Delphos, Glendale, & Middletown

Elevate your collection with this premium, curated set of three harder-to-find Ohio town-type precancels. Unlike common big-city issues, these stamps represent smaller post offices with significantly lower mail volumes, making their distinctive markings a prize for any state specialist. This set features sharp, legible Bureau Strikes, in which the town name was applied during stamp manufacturing at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for maximum clarity and uniformity.

Key Features
