Does this cancel look like a ordinary X or is it a different cancel all together on this #183?

This is a "cross" not an X. I will post a tracing in the morning.

Maltese Cross. Here's a good source to ID cancellations.

Here is a poor scan of a #114 with a more complete strike of this simple cross. My library is packed away while I remodel but categorizing this as a "Maltese" seems a stretch to me, but I can kinda see it ...
