Jones, the postmaster at Ashcake Virginia in Hanover County, felt that it was important to memorialize his last item: He cancelled the stamp with an "X," and applied a "FEB 28 1929" purple stamp and wrote "Last Stamp Cancelled at Ashcake Va." and sent this letter on its way to the Richmond Postmaster. Ashcake, Virginia, is located at Mile Post 97 on the CSX railroad tracks, where the tracks cross New Ashcake Road, in Hanover County (37° 41' 30"N, 77° 24 '10"W).From the late-1800’s through the late-1920’s, Ashcake was a stop along the old C&O Piedmont rail line. But by the early 1940’s, the station house was removed andAshcake’s life as a rail stop had faded into history.Today the tracks are still used for rail freight. The majority of trains going through the crossing pass during night hours. FREE United States of America Postal Service FIRST CLASS MAIL SHIPPING to the United States. Uninsured International, including Canada, shipments are $15.00. If you purchase multiple items and let me send the invoice, I will try to adjust shipping to a reasonable incremental level. I prefer eBay's Payment System. If you wish to pay by any other means, please message me before buying at and ask permission, which will not be unreasonably withheld. When I send an invoice after you have purchased the item, please immediately remind me that you will be paying by another means.Postal insurance and/or registered mail for loss and/or damage protection will be an extra charge and offered only if specifically requested. If this concerns you, please message me in advance of your purchase. Sometimes I will require this to protect us both. All international shipments that request registered mail (insurance generally unavailable) will be charged a flat additional $18 for this service. The United States Postal Service has an excellent record with my shipments. I have been a member of the American Philatelic Society since 1978 and have been selling on eBay for over 20 years. You will need to work through Sales Tax issues with eBay if for some reason you feel you should not be automatically charged sales tax. I cannot do anything about sales tax as eBay takes it and I never see it. Thank you for taking the time to view my items and make sure to review the other items in my eBay retail store, especially in this category.
