Frank Sente reminded me a couple of days ago to always check the relatively new, and constantly improving, BDR2 to see what cancels have emerged since Joyce's addendum to the Chappell list of 1898 proprietary printed cancels. Thanks to Bob Mustacich and a dedicated team (including many contributors over the years to this site), BDR2 has become a much more useful and interesting reference tool for proprietary printed and handstamp collectors. And because the team is thorough, they have identified, listed, and provided images and branding materials for the companies in the Joyce/Chappell list and then some. And in today's case, the then some includes C. H. Arnold, which featured here a few days ago as a component of Henry Tolman's collection.
Frank Sente sent me the examples of the stamps above, which add to the single cancel listed in the legacy list. At the BDR2 site, if you search for CH Arnold, you'll find images of Arnold handstamps in addition to the printed cancels.
