I picked up a few new Vermont stars yesterday at the Crossroads Show in Quechee.
Perhaps the most interesting is this circular date stamp from Hardwick. The star is nice, but the CDS is very unusual. According to Bill Lizotte, another Vermont postal history collector this is called a "pie crust". Similar cancels are known from East Orange and Wolcott.
This star cancel from Randolph has a negative star within a positive star.
Looks like the star is handmade on this cancel from Plainfield. I believe the circular date stamp is a Collins Circle.
The final star is a 3 dimensional star from Newbury Centre in purple. A later use of a star cancel.
