I have the attached an am wondering if its of the no Cross on Crown variety? The image in my catalog is not the best. I do see a "stub" on top of the crown which I was thinking the cross was suppose to be on top of that. But maybe what im really seeing is the cross? The few examples I have sen online of the no cross on crown variety do have a straight upper frame line without a doubt of there being nothing on top. So, cross or no cross?

My Stoneham catalogue shows a complete lack of the crown above the main stamp design.

No, it is not a no Cross on Crown variety. It is a completely normal stamp.

Edit: the stub is the Cross on Crown. The detail is not there (overinking? wear?) making it look like it is the base of a cross.
