Slogan cancel

A Slogan cancel is a machine cancel that has an inscription, posssibly also an image, instead of just bars and code letters/numbers. These can include messages from the post office or paid publicity for charities and events. Some can be of local publicity interest only, some can be used seasonally and some re-used for many years.

Slogan cancels have been collected in the past as cutouts from covers. This has changed to collecting whole covers.
