Immediately below is the Joyce list for Searle and Hereth printed cancels. Joyce lists approximately 60 different collectible varieties. However, it is clear from the stamps I possess and those held by others that there are many cancels and varieties unlisted by Joyce.
Joyce/Chappell list two types of cancels, one type with only "S. & H. CO." in the first line, and a second type with "THE S & H CO" in the first line. Both types are illustrated below:
S. & H. CO.
NOV. 6 1900
The cancel is a Joyce/Chappell Searle & Hereth Type 1
Type 1 on RB31 is unlisted by Joyce
THE S & H CO
MAR 25, 1901
The cancel is a Joyce/Chappell Searle and Hereth Type 2
This date on RB26 is unlisted by Joyce
Below are the Searle and Hereth pages from Henry Tolman's primary binders for his battleship proprietary printed cancels. One example of an S&H handstamp is at the bottom of the second page.
Tolman's Searle and Hereth collection is a bit lean relative to the varieties listed by Joyce/Chappell, especially when many of the Tolman's stamps are unlisted by Joyce. In the coming day I will post an updated excel file of the J/C list.
