This may be off topic, if so please remove but it is phone related. Someone is selling 2 old cancelled envelopes from phone companies. One is from NET&T out of New Hampshire, it has an unusal mark, the cancellation is in the image of a flag. I am not an avid stamp collector though I did some when I was young but I have never seen this before. Anyone familiar with it?

The so-called "flag killer" is from the American Postal Machine Company, popular about 1895-1920.  Each town had its own cancelling machine, and some were in service later than that.
