Hi

I got a new identification problem, it says Dallas TX on the stamp but I can´t find any type that matches this cancel and what is the Word saying on top of Dallas?

Here's a larger and cropped image of the same stamp:



I suspect it's a commemorative piece of some sort. I believe the top line reads PSS Dallas 80 ("PSS" as in Precancel Stamp Society) which held it's National Convention in Dallas, TX in 1980, the same year the Dolley Madison Stamp was issued.

Info from the PSS Facebook page: John Cokeley Foster It starts with PSS. I think it was one of the convention souvenir cancels. Dolley Madison came out May 1980 and that probably reads
PSSAUG80
DALLAS
TX
That's where it was that year. So, not a listed precancel, not a post office product.

You'd think that the Precancel Stamp Society would make a neater job of it
