A Collector's Guide to 1898 Document Printed Precancels: The Burlington & Missouri River Railroad in Nebraska's Collectible Types and Varieties

While a major component of The Burlington Route, the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad in Nebraska appears to have used a different printer than most of the other Burlington Route railroads.  Their precancels are in bold nonserifed full caps and use a dotted line to indicate a space for writing or stamping the date.  

There are only three main collectible precanceled stamps: one cent roulette and hyphen-hole stamps, and a two cent roulette stamp.  An invert exists of the one cent roulette.  Fullerton reported a two cent hyphen-hole but I do not believe this stamp exists.
