Is this a legitimate Cincinnati, Ohio precancel on Scott 740? I've seen precancels on commemorative issues before but most have some of the lettering duplicated because the device was intended to precancel a smaller definitive sized stamp. In this case the city/state name is printed only once, so was it a precancel type used specifically for this (or other) commemorative sized issues?

Aren't precancels printed on the stamp by the Bureau of printing and engraving while in sheets? Wouldn't the upper and lower lines extend off both side of the stamp? This looks like a smaller device than is normally used, could be a special device made for this purpose.

A local precancel using electroplate, maybe PSS style 248?

littleriver: this is a local, printed in Cincinnati. Yes, this is the PSS248 cv 0.25. If reading upwards, much scarcer. cv 25 $. This style was only used on 1c park, special delivery, and special handling stamps.
