During the time span of this correspondence the more familiar Binghamton herringbone cancel was supplanted by a gridiron and the occasional pen cancel- this situation provided the basis for a number of clever fakes with the more valuable fancy herringbone added to cleaned or substituted stamps; the end result is that Binghamton covers with grid cancels have become quite scarce.
