This was the main reason I bought a mixed lot of older Canuck material . Any ideas where the cancel is from? I've seen alot of different cancels but a full drive in the country scene picket fence included is different.

Love the car. Reminds me of some of the great cars on Downton Abbey.

With the lines top an bottom this almost looks like some form of precancel rather than just a stmped cancel. Probably a new member 3 months from now will pop up and say what its from-- One of the reason this board is so great is always fresh eyes.

Going by the frame, I'd suggest a slogan cancel,
you need a dedicated slogan catalogue, or someone with access to one.
Yes, super pmk.

Here's a small clip showing this slogan cancel. From a quick Google search, I see that the English version was used in 7 major cities, and there was a bilingual version also used in 2 cities.



And if you really like the cancel, here's an ebay lot with 51 covers, all of them containing that cancel!

Thanks Ryan - Again SCF comes through in less than 24 hrs. Now that I see the whole slogan I think the attraction was the placement on the stamp. Sort of cropped sock on nose situation!
