That's an interesting flag cancel. Never seen one with the stars in an oval before. I'm sure someone will chirp up that it's quite common, but to me, it's quite interesting.
This variety of flag cancel is called an "ovate" and there are about 40 different varieties (excluding the main Boston post office, where there are many more). Lawrence is about the most common of any of the 40 and has the lowest catalog ($1 on a postcard). The marking was in use in Lawrence from 1907 to 1912.
