Look at this cover..Cancelled 3 distinct times and the RED arrow shows the beginning of 4th cancel...Not rare, but not at all common. Robert   |

Looks like the postal clerk had a bit too much fun the night before, and his/her handeye coordination was suffering the next morning. |

That's not a machine cancel?
I figured that the envelope, for whatever reason, got stuck, and the 'next' envelope kept slipping in behind it.
Cheers,

Yes, it is a machine cancel.
The cancel is rolled-on as the envelope moves past the circular canceling head.
The only way to do this is to feed the envelope through the machine multiple times. |

Perhaps the postal worker thought he/she was paid by the number of passes through the machine...or, maybe it was a slow day. |

It appears to be a triple cancel X 2. 6 in total. Oh wait, on both sides? Is that even possible if it was turned upside down?

Jim, now I see 16 rings or partials in total and not 12. Missed that. Never mind Darth Vader. This cover had death by canceller.
