RFD cancels are found on mail that the RFD delivery man picked up from one postal customer and delivered to another customer on the same route, or sometimes to other towns and states . He cancelled the stamp with an indelible pencil (purple), sometimes putting his initials and the date. On busy routes, the postman would invest in a rubber stamp canceling device with the letters RFD and a town name and a date, or the words Rural Route. I have used information from the Encyclopedia of R.F.D. Cancels by Harold Richow I have shown both sides of this items so that you may better determine condition
