Cleveland, OH, postmark handstamp

March 1, 1904

The Chambers shop in Lodge, Virginia, manufactured this 'received' handstamp. It features a screw-on head with a handle-mounted socket. Month, date, time, and year type are inserted through slots in the die and held in place by flanges on the type. This style is less common that the handstamps that incorporated a set-screw to secure the type.
