Hi Trodent

The red line is where both lettering stops in my opinion...That means there was only room for ONE leter as the blue arrows shows.

Still working on it..Any others have any ideas...???

First letter string is likely TOR

I believe John nailed it.
Here is another version of a Toronto-North Bay cancel.

Don and Robert - thank you. I like the retroreveal, nice and simple to use. I tried isolating just the cancel colors in GIMP, and my head almost exploded. Seems so powerful, but I just don't have the patience to try to learn another program... Chris
