I just acquired this cover for my U58/U59 Specialized Collection. I've asked several people their opinions on if they think the cancel looks like something and what? I'm interested in any opinions from the forum members on their thoughts on the cancel. It is from Davenport, Iowa.   |

I think the Stamp Smarter database helps with this one. It looks to me to be AN-26, a dog, which hasn't been allocated as yet. This could be a nice find.  |

It's close, dog wasn't one of the opinions I've already had. I do think it's an animal head. Maybe a sheep or cow? After all it is an Iowa cancel where these animals are raised.

A bottle stopper maybe, I think I see revered letters.
