As far as I can ascertain, Liverpool had three Roller cancellations only the first of which is shown in the Kirkwood Proof Books.

Type 1

Proof entry circa July 1856

Proof entry circa December 1856

Characteristics: A continuous series of marks similar to the English 1844 postmark for Liverpool

Proofed: circa July 1856 and again circa December 1856

EKD: 20th September 1858

LKD: 16th May 1867

Scarcity Rating: H (very few recorded); only two dated copies have been reported

Picture Gallery

Type 2

Characteristics: The above image amply shows these. It has been suggested elsewhere that this cancel was used for telegraphic purposes. I have not seen any documentary evidence to substantiate this but firstly all examples that I have seen have been on higher value stamps (see Picture Gallery) and secondly I do not believe any dated examples have been seen.

Proofed: Not found in any of the Proof Books

EKD: ???

LKD: ???

Scarcity Rating: H* (Recorded on Stamp Only)
