It looks like the text in the middle starts with CK, or possibly CI or CL.

This might help:



Contrast increased by 100% and Brightness increased by 65%.

Here it is rotated 90, 180, and 270 degrees:

The cancel is Chicago. I have seen it before. I will look to see if I have an example to post (maybe another board member does).

Cheers, Dave

I believe this is a clearer strike of the same cancel on the same stamp, but viewed from a little further along in the name and up a bit higher.

Aha! It does look like the edge of a Chicago cancel, now that you guys have mentioned it. I was thinking it was the left half of a circular cancel with smaller circles around the edges, but now I see that what I thought was a circle at the bottom is actually an oval with the I from ILL inside. It looks a little different from the two others posted here (though very close to essayk's), but it's definitely Chicago. Thanks guys.
