I'm prepared to chalk this up to being an inverted Type 236 precancel, but in comparing it to a sample Type 236, although the bars and lettering look right, it seems the spacing between the city and state is wrong.

Is there another possible precancel ID for this example or are the differences in spacing between city and state not part of the identification process?

This is the PSS-236(6) - footnote (6) means 'device differs slightly from... illustration...'

Thanks. All these little details make some of this precancel collecting a bit challenging.

And just think how challenging it must have been for the authors who wrote the catalog!
