1933 Queen PA Fancy Cancel Registered Cover - L&W 954 Dr Foust Signed + P.O. Receipt

Complete, documented 1930s philatelic package featuring the iconic Queen Head rebus fancy cancel from Queen, Pennsylvania (Bedford County), complete with its designer's autograph and matching post office receipt.

• The Cancellation (Loso & deWindt #954): Three complete purple strikes of a stylized Queen's profile portrait wearing a crown—a direct rebus (visual pun) for the post office of Queen, PA.

• Designer Provenance: Hand-signed in ink on the reverse: "Designed by B. R. Foust, M.D., Briggsdale, Ohio". Dr. Bruce R. Foust was a legendary 1930s creator of custom hand-carved fancy cancel devices.

• Matching Original Registration Receipt: Includes the original paper P.O. Receipt for Registered Article No. 9 postmarked Queen, PA / Sep 28 1933, matching tracking #9 on the front of the envelope. Complete cover-and-receipt combinations are rare.

• Franking & Exact Rate: 18¢ total postage (two 8¢ stamps + one 2¢ Washington Bicentennial) paying the exact 3¢ first-class rate (effective 1932) plus the 15¢ minimum registry fee.

• Dealer Worksheet Verification: The accompanying Apex Philatelic Services worksheet confirms catalog identification (L&W #954), notes its one-day usage on September 28, 1933, and evaluated the piece at $125.00 (issued between the early 1980s and mid-1990s).
