Mount Hope, ON, CAN - Postcard with Canadian Warplane Heritage Stamp Cancel

 

(2024-01-26) Mount Hope, ON

At the same time as I sent cards for cancellation at the Mount Hope PO, I included this postcard to get sent back to me as well. Given I've received and sent cards that make it to their (domestic/international) destinations without ever having had the stamp cancelled (with a pen or not), I'm a little disappointed this one, which had already been cancelled nicely with the pictorial one, also got machine cancelled...

Now that I look at this card though, I wonder if I should try to collect a few more pictorial marks in the rest of the blank space.

I am in love with how all of these cancels turned out! Each of them turned out just a clearly as the one in the image and the worry I'd been having over using those stamps (which, at the time, I had no extras) turned out to be for nothing. I've since received some more airplane stamps though, so I'll be sending those off for additional (different) cancels!
