Post offices experimented with precancelled stamps in an effort to reduce work load. Supposedly these stamps would not have to go throught the cancellation machine and eliminate that step in processing. The city and state the stamp was sold in was printed on the face of the stamp. This also made it difficult if someone stole the stamps to resell them in another place.

What does the stamp OT mean?
Stamps come in various forms mint (not used postally or any other way) mounted mint (when a person mounts the stamp on a hinge to store as part of a collection) or used through the post office. When a person generally a collector buys a stamp from a philatelic bureau he may ask for the stamp to be CTO (cancelled to order). So the post office will actually cancel the stamp with a post office cancel. This is done for two reasons a collector will collect stamps in this manner or they will collect the specific post office cancel. When the stamp is cancelled it will not be able to be used postally. Hope this helps
