Thanks for posting your Toomer counterstamp. I don't have a copy of Scott's reference, and this one isn't listed by Brunk, so I've never seen it...
Thanks, Sam. I just can't own a counterstamp without at least researching the meaning of it, or to attempt an attribution. Much like you with your...
Here's another one of my Irish political counterstamps. I consider it one of the most interesting pieces I've seen because of the story it...
No book here, Frank, but I had an article published in TAMS journal last year about a part of it I call the Belfast Collection...about 30 examples...
Now, there's a Father's Day gift to remember, Sam. Congratulations! Bruce
I just picked up a small collection of Irish political counterstamps on eBay. These date to the Troubles era (1969 / 1998) during probably the...
You and me both, Frank.:D Bruce
I can't add much to what Bill has already said, except I did find another possible issuer. There was a 23 year old mechanic with this name living...
That sounds like a great price, Circus. You better grab it while it's still available. Bruce

Strange, I saw a set just like this a couple of weeks ago, Bill.:D Bruce
You're fight, Insider. It doesn't matter a wit to me. Maybe we can just describe them as purposeful damage.:D Bruce
Maybe not necessary, Jack, but they often are. Even if not, the condition of the counterstamp itself is important to a serious collector. Steve...
Thanks for the additional info on one of my favorite counterstamps. It's always nice to learn new things about these pieces. You're likely right...
Nice old American primitive, chromerunner. There are a lot of these old style stamps around, but nearly all of them are unattributed. The poor...
That's impressive, 49er. It looks huge, Have you measured it? Any edge lettering? Bruce
There's an "I.B.B." counterstamp known, Frank, but I'm not sure yours is the same one. Isaac B. Burbbayge from St. Louis was involved a number of...
I believe the Ayers pieces are the most common of these, or nearly so. The value depends somewhat on the condition of the "glass" (I believe it's...
Are there other denominations of March tokens, Jack? It would seem likely that there would be at least a 25 cent and $1.00 one. The website idea...
