What would be the proper name for this type of cancellation? Cancelled in Bath, Maine by a xxxx Chandler.

Is it even a cancel?

Thanks.

Googling "Ship Chandler", it appears that this is not a person's name, but a profession/title.

Yes it is. And a fairly common one at the time.

I suspect that the company name is arcing over the top of the oval.

Another Ship Chandler embossed cancellation from this lot that I'm going through. Looks to be from D. Bailey & Sons.
