Origin postmark is Galion, Ohio, which had a Doremus canceling machine at the time, which only partly imprinted the vertical bars to the right of the stamp and necessitating the handstamp. (By coincidence, Marion, OH also had a Doremus machine at the time, but the first letter of the handstamp is clearly curved.)
