US Local Forgery Strip Of 3 - Any Info On This Item

Have not found this strip of three in any reference book that I have - does anybody have any knowledge relating to this. Type Of U.S. Mail NYC Scott #6LB9 Lyons Forgery I1, U.S.P.O. Phil Pa 'S' Scott #7LB1 Lyon's Forgery G, U.S.P.O. Phil Pa 'P'Scott #7LB4 Forgery K - strip of 3

That's interesting to see those locals printed together on the same sheet.

I've seen other sheets with multiple designs. They were really kicking out these forgeries. Every stamp I look at takes 10 minutes with Lyons. Every single local stamp. 90% are forgeries.

Here's an example

i believe that one is a modern forgery from the 1970's.

I thought that sheet was familiar. Like I said modern reprint from 1970's by an old time NY dealer I knew.

Modern forgery of the 1970's

Is it too generous to call the 70's sheet a forgery? I mean it does not give off the slightest vibe of intending to deceive.

Good to know that this sheet came from the 1970's, thanks. Any idea who produced it?

yes Aaron Sonsky - Transatlantic Stamps

alub just curious - where did you pick up your copy.

I bought a large collection of locals from a retiring collector. He had a fair amount of forgeries, but some nice stuff that looked genuine, here are a couple:




including half a dozen covers, here are a couple of pages:




I also got a few nice reference books that I did not already have, I already had Lyons:.




And I also have duplicates for trade (yes, most are forgeries):






Sorry about the orientation of the photos. But I know that we all love to see photos.

You have some nice pieces including the covers. If you have Lyons 3 Vol Set you should be able to distinguish originals from the forgeries and reprints. Covers are more difficult to review as stamp may be good but cover is fake. I believe you might have another Aaron Sonsky forgery but can't tell from the scan. I was unable to enlarge any of your last group of scans to check closely. Thanks for the posts.

Which do you think is an Aaron Sonsky? I can provide a close-up photo. I like being able to label items correctly. (I've included a note in my collection with the sheet posted above.)
