Some questions that I have yet to answer as to whether or not these are precancels or box cancels:

I'm inclined to think this is a double-strike precancel. Possibly Dallas, Texas?

Top looks like it is a box cancel to me. There appears to be a bit of the vertical line of the box just to the right of George's collar. I would agree with you that Martha is a double strike precancel.

I believe you have 2 precancels, the top also has an additional cancel over the top!

Thanks for the confirmation on the precancel types scanned. I think I now have all three varieties of precancels known for Andover, Mass.!
