NOTE THAT SOME PAPER FLAWS MAY BE PRESENT THAT DO NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE APPEARANCE OF THIS CLASSIC STAMP OR ITS CANCELLATION.   USE OF CDS HANDSTAMPS LED TO THE POPULARITY OF CARVED "FANCY CANCELS" BECAUSE  CDS TOWN/CITY INFORMATION WAS OFTEN UNCLEAR ON BOTH DARK COLORED POSTAGE OR ON STAMPS WHOSE COLOR MATCHED THE CDS INK.  THE PMG ORDERED THAT THE CDS BE STRUCK NEAR THE POSTAGE WHICH COULD THEN BE VOIDED USING VIRTUALLY ANY TYPE OF INKED CANCELLING DEVICE(S) THAT A PO SELECTED.
