/ POSTMASTER YARMOUTH, N.S. / FEB 21 1955 / Office No. X596 / - large MOON cds cancel in blue ink - not found in proof book.

Starting in most of Canada in January 1950, post offices began to get issued with a rectangular rubber cancel that incorporated the MOON (Money Order Office Numbers), town name, date and province within a box of about 30 mm x 28 mm. These cancels were in use until March 31, 1973. In theory MOON,  MOTO and MOOD cancels were not to be used to cancel anything except paperwork and receipts, but by the 1960's MOON cancels were in wide use.
