Small Queen Cancel - Can You Help Identify?

Hi all

I've not seen this cancel from the SQ era before. Can someone identify it? Almost seems like a pre-cancel...

To me it looks like a roller cancel but instead of the usual name of place in middle, it was replaced with a solid block that was cut at angles creating a 10 bar grid with two ends.

Well, it looks like what I stated above was an answer but not entirely sure if accurate. Another explanation for the above postmark may be found in the 1975 second edition Quarterman Publication of The Postage Stamps and Postal History of Canada by Winthrop Boggs.

On page 641 under the heading of The Fancy and so-called Cork Cancellations, in the centre image in the top row is found an almost identical cancel. Image shown is attached.

Maybe...???

Robert, that one shows ten long angled lines and two shorter ones for a total of twelve. It does not show the solid angled blocks on either end of the lines as shown by the original poster.

Thanks guys - it does seem like the Boggs' example. For now, I will just file it with the 'misc fancy' group.
