I orignally had this stamp grouped with precancels, but since the only ones issued for Bridgton, ME were Styles 729 and 841, which don't look at all like this example, I suspect it may not be a precancel but simply a box cancel or local cancellation of some sort:



Am I right or have I missed something?

I think you are right, I would suspect box cancel.

Thanks. Some of these precancels are a bit of a challenge to identify.

Especially for me, I think I am precancel impaired.
