Leamington, ON, CAN - Butterfly Stamp Cancel

(2024-01-25) Leamington, ON

This is the best of the batch I received back - the rest were smudged and there was even one that was missing the "eami" letters from "Leamington." But! The stamp pairs nicely with this moth (yes, I know) stamp... I'll have to get it done again with the 22¢ butterfly stamp at some point.
