Hi guys...Take a look at this block (8) of Scott # 708...Two questions..?

It is also cancelled "Hamilton, Ontario"

1 - Did they have a habit of pre cancelling a whole sheet of stamps..?
2 - What is that on the bottom right stamp above the flower..?

The pre-cancelling of this issue was done by Canada Post in full sheets for issue to licensed users. It appears that your block was used to mail a letter or package where it received the Hamilton rubber stamp cancel. As to the red dot, it looks like a spot of ink and I doubt that it is constant.
